Dankersoe,

The waters nice and warm :sad:

Your rumour sources are indeed correct, 9 out of 12 ATP guys made it through. However the latest from the CTC towers is that there are 40 in the pool as we speak and not 48....

Therefore there is the possibility that guys have taken from the pool without our knowledge :eek:

Saf

Has anyone heard any more news on movement or potential movement in the pool?

Those in the pool received an email from CTC a couple of days ago.

Basically: Huge demand expected from EZ next year (500 pilots). easyJet anticipate 1/3 of those coming from CTC Wings (40-50 will be cadets, the rest ATPers, so 120ish!:eek: )

CTC want their pool to grow to 50 to accomodate demand. Also things have been slow recently due to the oft rumoured lack of training resources to cater for current demands. Expect the floodgates to open again in December/January, starting with a trickle.

Not much need from other airlines, perhaps due to change in retirement laws. Also, I think, due to most haveing their own big recruitment drives recently.

Looking ok, so hang on in there guys.

Thats fantastic news!!! Thanks for the update!!!

heard some news that a group of guys have just gone to Jet2.com last friday

If you look at the 2 posts above (17th October) about the numbers in the holding pool, the list provided by dankersoe gives a total of 48, whereas saffer correctly indicates that there are 40 (and still is if you count the number of address in the email from CTC on Thursday last week).

So, are those 8 the ones that have gone to Jet2? If not then:

Is this news from one of the pilots concerned, CTC directly or just rumour?
How many were in the group?
Were they ATP's or Cadet's?

:cool: Well, as we're being detectives:
The 40 email addresses seemed to be listed in 'AQC course order', most recent first. There were only five addresses listed for 29th May's AQC but based on Dankersoe's list we'd expect 6. Incidentally all 10 on my course were listed.
I really wouldn't devote so much thought and effort to this kind of thing if my current job wasn't so very dull.

The mails were mixed up, i can confirm that "the mail" were sent to all 6 persons from the may 29 AQC. And as far as i now, were all still waiting for the call.... Just hang in there, we are all getting that call, sooner or later. :)

/Spitfiire

Agree with spitfire. Don't think any of us May 29th folk were hauled out. Interestingly the last 5 names are from May 29th AQC yet one of the May names is in the middle of the distribution list. No idea why.

it came from a guy at the selection in bournemouth, plus i also know that the wings guys have dates in dec and jan, so its coming, just have to hurry up and wait. then wait a little more. Free swimmers badges for all, Bronze, Silver and gold.

The Call!
 

Well boys and girls! The call came on monday to several of us :ok:.
I think all of us (6) from the May AQC got the call. One is starting in December, and the rest in January and February.

Hang in there! The walls are coming down :D

Excellent news, am I right in assuming this is for EZY? :D :D :D

Yes, one Boeing course and 2 Airbus courses as far as I know. Maybe more.

I've heard Easy should be coming back to speed with trainers around March / April...does anyone have an idea of any requirements/courses from the charter partner airlines? Or Jet2?

:)

People from the May AQC were placed on a Boeing course Dec 4th, Airbus Jan 29th and a Boeing on Feb 5th. But I think there are other easy courses around these dates as well.

Ah, well add to that an Airbus course on February 12th.

Good news all round I think. This latest post has re-generated the excitement I had when I finished the AQC!

So, does anyone know what the training capacity is i.e. how many pilots can easyjet train on airbus and boeing at any one time and how often are the courses?

It looks like they have one Airbus and one Boeing course each month. At least from December to February.

And to answer the rest of the question.. 6 per course. The February 12th course is all ATPers though I expect there is sometimes a mixture of ATPers, Cadets and easyJet direct entry guys.

So if all of the remaining 6 from May are spread across Dec 4th, Jan 29th and Feb 5th (from Thorer's post) and Chock's post states that the Feb 12th is all ATP's, does that mean some of the June pilots have also received the call?
