Hi Michael,
Congratulations! I was on your selection day yesterday and I also passed! |

I'm in a similar boat with wife and kids albeit a bit older. I looked into CTC etc. but decided after reading many reviews it would be safer to go modular for about £55-60k (assuming minimum hours etc.) and not risk losing the house and also I couldn't easily relocate. Having Staverton (Gloucestershire) Airport and some great FTO 5 minutes away helps sway things toward modular too. Hope that helps? |
Well Congrats :)
So they already said if you pass it that’s really quick ! What is the next step then (Medical, etcc.. ?) I’ve book my assessment but didn’t got the link for the Cut-e online, do you remember approximately when they send it to you ? |
Well my assessment was a Monday they were sent the Thursday before
you have to wait for route allocation and in that time you can get your medical |
Remember to be careful as at this point as your route allocation can still be whitetail - class 1 med isn't cheap
|
For me it's no issue as I already have my class 1. I'd recommend people do it before they go for assessment.
|
Either group of 6 or a group of 4

Congrats on that. Have you started yet?
Yes but also at least you know youll be even able to pursue a career as a pilot before going for assessment. Thats my outlook on it |
I start on Feb 13th (EZMP27/CP184) So it should be good fun, at least when GS is out of the way :)
Yeah, that's true actually. But for lots of people, airline schemes hold far more security, and therefore it is understandable that people want some confirmation of their route before getting a medical. Although it's good to have it booked at least, as most can be paid on the day. I got lucky and managed to grab a cancellation at 2 weeks notice, but some friends had to wait 3 months... |
Was there much time between being given route allocation and your start date in February?
|
I think it is strongly dependant on how quickly you can get medical/funding sorted since they are both required before you are given your start date. For me I was given my route allocation on the 22nd Sept and then because I found it particularly difficult to get a funding option sorted I was only given my start date, of March 13th (CP186), on December 22nd!

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. £40k is about right as a starting salary if you're based in UK, France or Italy. At the moment there are zero hours contracts in the UK still though, which results in much less pay over the winter than summer. You have to factor in loan repayments of up to around £1500 a month though, unless you have managed to save up £100k. |
anyone else from day 2 heard back this morning?
|
Hi all,
Congratulations to those who've been successful on the eJ programme. I received the good news in Nov myself and I'm currently finalising bits before getting a start date. My question is - and it is slightly speculative - whether anybody has heard any information relating to the abolishment of Flexi-crew in the UK. I had heard Aug 2017 which has obviously passed now, and also that "it's being discussed in the latest pay deal" but nothing official on the eJ, BALPA etc. website. Thanks in advance for any info and good luck to those going through selection. |
Well in the EJ presentation I got on Monday it said the first 12 months of UK based cadets are on flexicrew but no other information was given
|
I received an email newsletter from a current EZY pilot which stated that there will be a meeting on 18th Jan regarding the negotiation of the eradication of flexicrew so we will find out some time after that I imagine!
|
The chances are now that anyone starting a course by the time you finish I.e. 18 months that it will be gone.
That’s what I’ve heard anyway. |
When the application is sent, how long does it take to get a response?

So guys, I went for my 2nd assessment last Wednesday and am happy to say that I was accepted and am currently awaiting route allocation. :)
|

Awaiting route allocation as well, any one who has already recieved there route care to enlighten us with ideas on times between recieving route and possible start dates. I know it all depends on medical/finance etc but were you guys given a choice of start dates say 2 months in advance? I know during presentation they mentioned a winter 19 start so that roughly equates to a summer 18 training commencement.
|
At the end of my interview I asked about training start dates and was told that all courses up to June are full so would be after that.
|
easyJet have substantially reduced the numbers of cadets for 2018, simply due to a lack of training capacity with the takeover of Air berlin. So things will naturally be slowing down for a while with a backlog of cadets for 2018 knocking on into 2019.
|
I heard back today. Route 1 MPL. Anyone else heard yet?
|
Just got the email and I’ve been allocated Route 1.
Now to try and work out the finances. |
Congratulations! .may I ask. How long you had to wait after your last assessment date
|
It’s been a week since assessment day 2 and I found out last Friday I passed the L3 standard. So a fairly quick turnaround for me.
|
Congrats, I also got route 1! What are your thoughts on doing the Degree

I already have a degree. I can see an advantage for someone who doesn't, as the opportunity for borrowing from student finance could be fairly sensible. However i already have student loan debt, so adding to that debt while i'm not working for the duration of the course isn't really a good option. Especially considering that my student loan will be accruing interest while i'm not working.
|
Any ideas if L3 offers for route allocation come out once every month or a few times a month?

From what I understand it is dependant on the airline and how quickly they approve things.
|
It doesn't make sense as cadets in their initial year won't clash with ex Air Berlin crews training needs?
