easyJet Hiring Boom Looming?

Hey chaps,

Word on the street is easyJet will begin a huge recruitment drive soon across the majority of their bases (outside of the UK too).

Seems like the supply of their MPL cadets isn't large enough to plug the demand.

Any insider knowledge regarding this? Will they be looking for NTR guys too?

Nothing different from the last couple of years.
Plenty of white tails atpl cadets from the usual schools, (CAE and Jerez, possibly others) but dont expect big numbers of DEFO, rated or not.
MPLs have not been enough since after covid.

Word on the street is that even if you’re cut from the right cloth (whitetail from the usual integrated schools), easy are now charging £30,000 for a type rating. Met someone the other day who’s going through anyway even though they don’t have the money for it.

I see Jet2 is recruiting non-tr 737...however,

"500 hours commercial flying time"

Not sure many new grads will have that!

Damn, I forgot to budget the TR on top of my CPL, MEP, IR, SEP, APS MCC, UPRT, and other alphabets that I forgot .

Believe it’s closer to £35,000 but don’t quote me on that.

A couple of Modular guys from my ATO just got it, one asked for a bond as was unable to fork out yet another £30k- was politely told no.

I believe they are recruiting directly from the schools.

Do EZY pay for the accommodation during type rating?
€35k for the type rating, paid up front.

Rumours they'll be recruiting for type and NTR soon on their careers website. You guys at Wizz and Eurowings get ready!

A lot of FO’s are leaving for other places at the moment. The company always maintains there are enough or enough being recruited through the flight schools, so even those inside the airline have no idea until the job advert gets put up.

Where have you heard these rumours? Low hour NTR opportunities too?

Cheers.
I thought easy modular cadets intake was frozen since quite some time before covid. That would be tremendous news

I believe the pay is also substandard until you've finished line training compared to many other airlines. Rumour was you're paid only for the hours you fly, no basic salary... so if you're only flying 1-2x a week, good luck living on that money if you're based in LDN . (T&Cs might've changed since I was told this)

Definitely not true for easyJet Europe anyway. You get full salary from day 1 of induction
