It took me 10 weeks mate. Good luck

Hi guys, I have a spanish Class 1 medical and I have to convert it to the CAA UK before they can give me a start date. Has anyone done this before?

With L3, mine took 20 days 🙂

Cheers mate, congrats with getting through. What route did you get offered?

Think it's different for everyone mate, some hear within 10 days, others a few weeks, some have waited 3 months! Not sure what determines the wait, but whatever happens, they will get back to you - so just keep thinking that

Lucky you! I was desperate by then haha although they were good news at the end 😥

Has anybody heard their route allocation in the last few days? I'm at 6 weeks now so I'm getting anxious (although I know I just have to remain patient!)


Do you find out by email or phone?

By Email. Good luck

hey guys. how long does easy jet keep your MPL license restricted to your AOC?
do you get it unrestricted( license without AOC bonding) when line check was successful?

Hi everyone, I have just been chosen my date for the day 2 assessment for the easyjet MPL course. Does anyone have any advice or links that would be helpful regarding the cut-e tests? I've already seen the ones on PilotGeorge, so is there anyone who could help? Thanks :)

What are people’s tips for the non-tech day? Did people use the LPJ interview questions (or group exercise) as prep or just generic competency based questions?

Well done for getting through to the next stage mate. I'd say dress smartly, and be the guy who actively speaks to everyone without forming a group, and sticking with the same people. Make it known that you can confidently communicate with different people - as people are watching everything you do...

For the interview, think about some examples of times you've shown leadership, motivation, team work, dealt with conflict etc... and try and practise some answers - detail is important, because they may ask you follow up questions. Too much detail is better than too little... make eye contact, and speak confidently and at a good speed, and always relate any answer you give to how it will ensure you can be the best within easyJet's culture.

For the group task, try and let everyone engage, bring in those that are quieter, and try and manage the task, whilst still allowing others to suggest and make inputs too. If you aren't managing the time, try and take charge of another element... and always appear to be trying to involve those that aren't saying much. At the same time, if anyone is trying to over-control things, perhaps say, "right, before we move on, why don't we make sure everyone is happy first".

Have fun too, it's a nice day, and I definitely found it more enjoyable than the PILAPT and Maths. Hope it goes well bud!

Absolutely fantastic advice, thanks so much :)

I have been successful through the assessment process and have been offered route 1 MPL, does anybody have any companies or banks they can recommend speak to with regards to financing the course? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Congrats on the offer.

As far as I am aware there are not many products out there that offer the payment holiday that BBVA did. Your best bet is to probably engage a broker, but if the payment holiday isn't a deal breaker then what you want is a large secured loan, which you can compare on moneysupermarket and uswitch or just Google.

Please could someone give me details of the conditional job offer/ contract from easyJets for Route 3 (ATPL). At the end of the 2 years when you have completed training are you able to apply to other airlines if they are hiring? or am I bound to easyJet?

Also.. Why does easyJet offer a ATPL route and and MPL route when both routes get you into the right hand seat at easyJet. Surely if a candidate has shown sufficient aptitude during selection to warrant a conditional job with easyJet, then why do they need to offer two different courses?

The employment contract just states the terms and conditions of flying for easyJet, and states that you are bound to fly for them after completing training - as long as you meet their standards... To be honest, if you are wanting to apply to other airlines, and do not have your eyes set directly on easyJet, after the 18 months/2 years, would it not be best to consider Whitetail? The scheme is designed for those that specifically want to work and fly for easyJet for whatever reason, and in the interview they specifically ask "why easyJet"...

Think the different routes allow and encourage different types of people to apply. I.e. Those don't have the A-Level results/degree, but still would easily make a very successful easyJet First Officer...Perhaps call CTC/L3 mate for more info?

I'd stay on this tagged scheme if I were you. It gives far more certainty of a job. There's enough people waiting up to a year currently for a job after whitetail that it's not worth it, a job is a job, and EasyJet have one of the better contracts out there compared to where some whitetails have gone.

Flexicrew
 

Is there any news on the discussions between EZY and BALPA RE: The abolition of flexicrew?

@Ryder35742,

As I understand it's very much nearing the final stages of discussion between easyJet, the Company Council and BALPA. Of course, like all things in aviation that can change at the drop of a hat. But it's promising no less. I certainly foresee something being in place for newbies before long. Here's the latest news from BALPA themselves:

Does anyone have their assessment with L3 on January 22nd? Thank you

Applications for Generation easyJet with L3 is open until 30th June 2018!

easyJet are definitely looking for cadets!

The fact that it's open for six months may give some indication of the general interest, or quality of applicants.

More bad news for whitetails and the ever filling hold ocean (pool) at L3, poor souls. :ouch:.

Great opportunity for those not already in the system though, mind I have heard of a few people dropping out of Generation EasyJet after starting training so there are a few extra places to fill.

Any reason why they dropped out?

Failing/Poor ATPL results on the whole from a few individuals, L3 have had some recently like all schools do. Not sure of the particulars, but I'm fairly sure you can be untagged from the EasyJet scheme due to unsatisfactory performance and even fall into the performance protection which may see your training ceased. Not a situation I'd want to wish on anyone.

Happy New Year! Wishing everyone who is starting their training this year the best outcome and everyone who is applying, the very best of luck!

Thank you to everyone who replied to this thread especially those who helped each other out and provided very useful insights :)

I have recieved an automated-looking email from the ADAPT administration team at CAE offering feedback via phone. Is this how the outcome of the final stage is given or is it something else? I’ve been waiting for just over 6 weeks now.

To all, when writing "easyJet" in the application, do you write easyJet with a capital E when starting a new sentence?

I had this exact issue today . All i did was , if during a sentence "easyJet" if at start "EasyJet"

On my application I always wrote 'easyJet' - plus if I'm honest I don't like using 'EasyJet' it just doesn't look right - it's worked for me and for clarification, on their website in all the block texts they use easyJet too. So pretty safe to us that!

Just had a look myself and the annual report for 2017 is published, it's well worth a read :)

Thank you guys!

I will have a good look at their annual report as well.

So refreshing to see you guys considering them kind of details, many people think it doesn’t make a difference... it really does!

Of course if one is very passionate about the airline, then one must get right into the information available!

I get notifications about new easyJet related news, I've spoken to easyJet pilots, easyJet MPL cadets, an easyJet HR emplyee and I've even attended an easyJet seminar!

The one most important thing that I learnt is that easyJet wants someone who is very passionate about flying and easyJet itself...

Changing Career
 

I am currently a teacher and want to change career. I am 30 with a wife and two kids who are very supportive of my potential change. It is always something I have wanted to do but I had my family young and teaching was a safer route. I used to fly gliders as a teenager with the Air Cadets so I am not a complete novice with a 'pie in the sky' dream. I am at early stages with my research but would like some advice on the EasyJet MPL route (assuming I were to be successful of course!).

I am more interested in what happens at the end of the 18months of training. There is lots of information regarding possible training routes but not quite so much on what happens at the end. I understand that my base could be anywhere (hopefully in the UK) which we can deal with for a few years until a space in Edinburgh opened up but what sort of "take home pay" would I be looking at? The advertised salaries of 40 - 50k in the first few years are very tempting and similar to what I am earning now but I understand this could be misleading depending on how many hours i'd be used as well as paying back bonds etc.

Many Thanks.

And 125,000.......

Hence the ellipsis ;)

Hey Michael did you pass the 2nd assessment ( exercises group and personal interview ) for EZY MPL ?

Can you give us some feed back ?
I have it on the 7th of February.

Good luck to those who attended today. Some great candidates there who were very well prepared, and great to meet you all.

Yes thankfully i passed ! Got my email from L3 this morning !

Well first of all everyone will arrive at around 8:15 . Just make sure your early . Try to get involved with everyone in the group of 16 or so. Its important to get to know each other .

First youll get a presentation from the EJ team . Theyll give an introduction go the company and then show you what happens if you pass that day.

Afterwards your group assesment begins . Now I cant disclose any information about it but ill say its important to get involved and just be yourself.

After these 2 group assessments youll have lunch

After lunch the interviews begin. I got to go first (not sure why but maybe as they seen i live in dublin)
its a 1 to 1 interview with an assessor from L3. There were no curve ball questions. The first questions are to make you feel relaxed like "tell me about your hobbies"
After this the main interview questions start. All motivation and competency based . "Name a time youve been a leader " "a time youve youve lead a team"

The interview is nothing to be worried about . Just do your homework and youll be okay . After your interview your free to go.
