Thanks for the heads up. I plan to go to the selection process in June, right after my studies.

Just to confirm, how long did it take, in weeks, for your route allocation?

We heard 1 week after what route we were allocated. I believe there are still some people waiting up to 8 weeks.

I finished selection at the start of January and had my route allocation mid February. Bit of a wait when compared to others but it makes no difference

Route
 

@michae249 Dublin

Why do you think you were unsuccessful in not having EZY offer you a route? Did many of the folks on your selection day get offered an EZY position?

All the best,

They don't tell you exactly why except for saying that the competition for routes is extreme. Especially when there's so many people going for a small amount of routes.

Of the 16 on my selection I got in contact with about 5/6 and one got route 1 and the other Route 2. Didn't hear of any others getting through.

Although getting whitetail isn't exactly what I was hoping for, to get through selection to that point takes a lot. Thankfully I'll be taking up the offer of whitetail.

Thanks for the reply.

Seems a bit up and down then given that an earlier post states that 8/10 of those who passed the selection day were offered an EZY route.

Btw;

How’d you do on Pilapt?

And have you a university education with work exp etc?

Pilapt was straining but I'm yet to meet anyone who said it was easy

Probably due to the amount of people now applying there is less places on routes hense more of a chance for whitetail option.

I do not have a degree but currently work in the aviation industry as an Aircraft technician apprentice in Dublin.

For the initial online application, does it require an attached CV or is it more of a university-style personal statement? I'm looking at submitting an application within the next couple of weeks and want to be prepared. Thanks

No CV required.

It does ask two questions that do require university-styple personal (answers) however.

Thanks for the help!

Anyone who recently sat PILAPT please PM me.

Edit: Thanks for all the responses!

When's your start date?

3rd July in Southampton

In case it hasn't been mentioned here before, easyJet MPL trainees now get a full EASA SEP PPL as part of their flying training, something you don't get with the ATPL. Quite a good addition really. The reason is that otherwise an easyJet MPL student wouldn't have at any time got a traditional flying qualification.

Should note that this isn't included in the ATPL as obviously it's not needed since those cadets get a CPL/ATPL, which include the privileges of a PPL.

Referees
 

Congrats mate.

What’s the deal with references?

e.g - When does easyJet request them? I.e after route allocation or before? And, does easyJet request a referee from both of the provided referees?

Thanks,

(Open to anyone who knows)

When applying through the FTO there should be a section where you can put in any references, I'm not sure when/if they are contacted however.

Also L3 have recently introduced cut-e aptitude testing as part of the assessment process following stage 1. Multi-tasking, missile test, etc. not sure if this has been discussed already.

I knew there were Cut-e personal questionair but not an aptitude test... Source?

Except you don't get an SEP rating with the CPL, which means you will have to do an extra skills test to fly a cessna etc back home.

I asked about this at my recent interview and no one (L3 Staff) seemed to know about it, saying it was just a rumour? How did you find out if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Alvor, I provided details of my referees on my initial application and to my knowledge they were never contacted. I've never been asked for an actual written reference.

Is anyone in EZMP32?

I've been through it via getting the PPL, normal New Zealand syllabus.

Thanks, Sam!

Is Skytest worth investing in? From a financial perspective I can't help but feel paying £79.00 for something I won't be using again after this month is not the greatest idea.

I did for my interview and it helped out no end, I don't think I'd have done half as well as I did without it. You also get other aptitude tests for future interviews that are more complex so it may have future uses for you too! Hope this helps!

I’d highly recommend it, it’s very relevant.

£79 isn’t that much compared to the £100k pricetag for the course you’re aiming to get on 🤷*♀️

I bought skytest prep software last year. I’ll be starting the MPL course in June. Its well worth the money, it does have a lot more practice tests types than you need for the EasyJet Assesment. The customer support is great too.

For the aptitude test, its a yes. I'm currently using it and its helped me better understand how the tests work which is the biggest point for me.

Many cadet blogs have information on the aptitude tests, one even has a discount for Skytest ~ £10...

For the maths part of the assessment, its a no.
The maths on a certain aptitude test website is where you want to look as the maths on that certain website has questions which are in similar style to the questions you'll get in the assessment.

To all,

I have received an email which states that the L3 Generation easyJet program will close on the 11th April 2018... 2 months ahead of time.

Hi.

What does this mean do you think for those of us currently partway through the assessments? Is it likely there just aren't any spaces left?

I would have thought there would be, why not just close it now otherwise.

I think they would have to make an allowance too for that fact that some people will dropout for various reasons.

If your doing the assessments, an email should've appeared in regards to this.

Hi,
I am new to this forum however, week ago I have booked myself for Day 1 assessment which is taking place after the closing date. I have still received email with the closing date and now wondering what should I do. If I don't attend I will probably lose my money which is not good.
Any idea if easyJet will consider my application even though my assessment is taking place after closing date?
or do you think they will reopen within a year?

Many Thanks!

Anyone going to the day 1 assessment on the 16th?

I am in the same position and in my understanding, easyJet will still be considering people after the applications close if they have booked an assessment day.

Just spoke to L3 and they would want any last applications to sit their interviews and selections through this month and May, which unfortunately is not suitable for me with some important exams first (I was hoping to defer my selection days until the Summer). On the other hand, CAE Oxford is open for another 3 years and I can do the exams whenever, but their start date is backlogged until Summer 2019.

They recommended I go on whitetail where you are still likely to receive offers from easyJet and are super-flexible on start-dates. The only downside to whitetail before was the loan repayments during the employment hold-pool but that's not so much an issue for me anymore. Anyone have any recommendations? Anyone else in a similar position?

I have been informed that EasyJet are no longer recruiting from the pool... few people are in fact. Can someone else confirm?

Oh no, I was hoping this wouldn't be true. CAE Oxford explained to me that the Generation easyJet program was to guarantee a certain number of pilots for the airline while they still offer to jobs to whitetail hold pools since the program was to secure a certain number of jobs. I'm not too sure which is my best option.
