Does anybody have any information on how the Parc contract stacks up against the CTC contract. CTC post up a detailed benefits package spec, most notably I offering easyjet contract after 12 months instead of 2 years! It would be interesting to see how the two match up!

Also, does anybody have any information on flight training location for the MPL at Oxford? I note that CTC provide their training in NZ like their standard wings course, however, Oxford just states either UK or Arizona for flight training?

Any chance of Easyjet underwriting loans this year? I know there was some talk of it but can't see anything on the finance page.

Type rating
 

This has been a good thread to read. Is it a slight advantage if you got a type rating on the jet prior to applying?
I am fully aware of threads saying don't pay for type ratings etc...
Is this a help when applying to easy jet etc?

Darren I think you've missed the point about the MPL. The idea is to take a cadet from having absolutely nothing to a restricted fatpl
with a320 type rating in the shortest possible time. There are restrictions governing experience (or lack of) needed to apply.

Restrictions
 

Oxford advise no more than 80hrs flight time to be eligible for their MPL. Don't see any restriction on the CTC
site (but I think a type rating would exclude you from both!)

Utter rubbish.

easyJet MPL Programme
 

Hi,

just wondering if anyone had any information as to the exact criteria that is required to be selected for this programme? Are there any basic requirements that easyJet/OAA look for in candidates that are applying? Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks:ok:

By the look of things a huge bank balance is an absolute must.

OAA Skills Assessment Stage 2+3 preparation
 

Hey there!

I've been invited to Stage 2 of the skills assessment at OAA for the easyJet MPL programme, and I was wondering how to best prepare for it. I've been using the search function but couldn't really find a satisfactory answer. If I missed something, I do apologize.

There are a few different online platforms available for training (e.g.: Pilot Aptitude Tests, Latest Pilot Jobs, ...), so I'd be glad if someone could advise me which one, if any, to subscribe to.

Since I'm not from the UK, I would also be glad if anyone could offer suggestions on how to prepare for stage 3 (group exercises and interview), if indeed I pass stage 2. I already participated in another skills assessment, but it was in Germany. I'm pretty sure the emphasis is a bit different in the UK. Any hints about online resources, books or general guidelines would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your valuable help!

Does anyone know definitively whether or not you can apply to both CTC and OAA? I know there has been some previous talk about this but nobody seemed certain.

Also, has anyone who has applied to OAA been contacted about initial selection stages yet?

Has anyone who has applied to OAA and not heard yet?

I have applied almost 2 weeks ago (15/04/14) and still haven't heard a jiffy :bored:

I understand that lots of people will be applying etc but wondering if anyone else is in my position?

Are you meant to assume its a no if you don't hear anything after a certain amount of time?

Bond.
 

Hi all,

Could anyone shed some light on the security bond (£69,000) offered at CTC.

I see no mention anywhere on the Oxford site that shows them offering the same bond (although they did for the BA FPP).

In effect without offering this bond it is going to be £69,000 more expensive to train at Oxford than at Southampton (as the money is transferred to EasyJet and payed back in addition to your remuneration package upon your signing of a contract with them). I don't think this can be right otherwise no-one in their right mind would opt for Oxford.

Please could someone shed some light.

Good luck to all applying!

Ben
 

Cheers for the response, I was under the impression that the wages were the same and the bond was in addition to the remuneration package.

"easyJet will, in turn, repay the £69,000 bond to you in monthly instalments over a period of seven years in addition to the salary commensurate with experience" - got this from the CTC EasyJet MPL finance page.

Where did you hear that the Salary is dropped in relation to this bond repayment?

It's all gone quiet on here :oh:
Has anyone heard back from OAA as of yet?

It took over two weeks for OAA to get back to me. Their stage two assessments start this week.

By Stage 2 are you talking about the Aptitude Testing?

I was aware that this had begun on the 23rd April and since e-mailing to request carry-over of my previous scores, I haven't heard a reply? Can anybody clarify further?

Aptitude testing is still taking place and has been running for at least a week. The last time I checked the final date available for this was May 15th but its likely that this period could be extended.

Using previous stage 2 scores
 

I have also requested to use previous Stage 2 scores and haven't heard anything back yet. I was planning to call them tomorrow to check they received the E-mail. Glad someone else is in the same position though.

I'll let you know what they say.

I applied over the bank holiday.
Hopefully it won't take long to hear back.

Do they do an initial 'sift' from applying?
