I looked back at some of the previous replies of time taken for people to get their route allocation. The list below is a couple of the many route allocation posts throughout the thread. As seen, the results vary quite a bit.
13 weeks - Route 1 10 weeks - Whitetail 10 weeks - <Good News?> 10 weeks - Whitetail 8 weeks - Route 3 6 weeks - Whitetail 3 weeks - Route 1 1 week - Route 1 "class of 24 at L3, around 14 are easyJet. New course roughly every 3 or 4 weeks." - User Statistic (2017) "5/6 and one got route 1 and the other Route 2. Didn't hear of any others getting through" - User Statistic (2018) |
Just got an email from L3 saying I've got a place on route 1! Absolutely thrilled. My place is dependent on me achieving my A level predicted grades, so got some work to do in the meantime! Best of luck to everyone still waiting.

Well, I just got my death sentence.. Whitetail for me but oh well.
Noticed that it said it would consider me for 2019 start dates but there is no guarantee. |
As the 2017/18 session for this program comes at a close, the end of this thread I guess comes as well. I wish everyone the best whether their in selection, in training, waiting for route allocations, starting training or simply moving on. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread and supported each other especially those who took the time to share their experiences.
To this point we had 950 replies and 296,444 views. CAE guys, good luck with selection! EGPF |
Just for news:
The Generation easyJet cadet pilot program should open on the 3rd of September with L3... Unsure about CAE's exact opening but should be around the same time. Significant change I see is the removal of route 2 (easyJet MPL upgrade). I hope this thread will be of help for anyone planning to apply! Good luck to all! |
I’ve noticed the entry requirement no longer require A levels, just GCSEs at grade c or above. |

Maybe they've had to remove the GCSE requirements as candidates` Mummy and Daddy may be struggling to cough up 109k for their little cherub. But hey, Easy are all about equality ;)

Fair enough, I could continue ranting about the injustice of it all but then people might think I`m bitter. I`m going to go and hide in my unremortgaged box before heading off to do some farm strip taildragging and remind myself why there is no rush to fly an airliner :)

Anyone attending Stage 3 on the 25th Sept?
|
Based on how difficult many people say ATPL Theory is, I can't help but think it's going to be a big jump from GCSEs. The benefit an airline would get from demanding reasonable A-Level (or equivalent) results is that they would get people who had proven experience of learning a lot of theoretical information in a short space of time.
I'm sure there are quite a few commercial pilots out there with only GCSEs but a lot will have had serious amounts of life experience before heading down the modular route or similar. Seems Ollie has hit the nail on the head unless the funding situation changes. Some airlines seem desperate to attract people who haven't previously considered flying as a career, yet there's already bucketloads of people with the talent and motivation but sadly not the cash. |
I don't see Aer Linus lowering their entrance standards. Oh wait, that's because it's full funded and they can take their pick of all the best applicants from across Europe.
As others have said, Easyjet are (admirably) keen on promoting equality when it comes to gender. When it comes to discrimination based on financial background they have precious little to say..... |
Hi All
Note that selection has now changed for this. PILAPT is no longer used, as L3 have changed to Cut-e testing for all parts of selection. Best of luck to all those applying this round. 2 months into ground school, and let me tell you, its tough going! Cheers |

Jeststream - I think they got too many applicants.
Does anyone know if they will release more dates for Interviews? I have passed my computer based tests and now need to prepare for interview. The only dates they have available is the 6th & 7th of November but I don't feel to be prepared to book any of these dates. Is it only the application closed for new candidates or both, the application and the interview process for current candidates? Thanks. |

Does anyone know how quickly they expect you to do the group/interview day following a successful cut-e test day? Cheers |

Did they give you a mark or just a pass/fail? Cheers |

Hi EGPF - yes I am currently in the process with L3 and I've got the cut-e test day coming up in November.
Does anyone know how quickly they expect you to do the group/interview day following a successful cut-e test day? Cheers Also, you will get an email the next day saying if you passed or fail unless you sit your day 1 on Friday whereby you’ll have to wait until Monday to find out. |
Faulty mouse at Dibden Manor?
Hi All, Has anyone out there very recently been to Dibden Manor for the L3 / Easyjet Cut-e aptitude tests....? I’m kicking myself for not querying it at the time with the L3 staff, but has anyone else found the mouse control for the ‘complex control’ / tube flying test really odd? Instead of the movement of the mouse in relation to the position within the tube being fixed/linear, it seemed graduated/exponential/erratic - i.e. a small movement of the mouse produced a small movement on the screen but if I continued moving the mouse in the same direction by the same amount it produced an exaggerated movement on the screen such that the sideways or vertical movement ‘accelerated’ across the screen/tube, causing me to crash all the time..... It seemed as if the sensitivity of the mouse was constantly changing.... As I say, did everyone who’s done this test at Dibden experience the same or was the control rate between your mouse and the screen constant / linear....? I got the e-mail to say I failed, but the crazy thing is I scored really well on all the other tests, even the ‘hard’ multi-tasking test, so it seems really odd to have failed on the one test most people say is the easiest (and one I had practiced fine at home)....? If it seems one of their mouses / computers isn’t behaving properly, perhaps they’d look into it and invite me back to resit that test.....? HELP ! |
Haven't done Cut-e at L3 but have done it with another airline. The behaviour of the controls in the complex control test that you've described sounds exactly the same as when I did it. Be careful of learning from the practice tests as although they emulate the real tests there are small details such as the behaviour in this test which they don't accurately replicate. Unfortunately I don't think there was anything wrong with your controls on the day, the test is just set up like that.
A good tip that someone gave me is to try the examples out a few times beforehand to get the hang of it before trying the real thing. I believe that you have to pass all elements of the test to pass the whole assessment so even if you've done really well on the other tests, if you fail one element then you fail the whole assessment. |
Hi everyone,
Has anyone attended the L3 easyJet MPL interview 1-1? and if so, how many competency based questions were you asked? + Commercial awareness questions? & any other. Thanks. |
Hi All, I passed the generation easyJet stage 3 at CAE last month. I got a mail the next day to say I’d passed but haven’t yet received my route allocation. We were told we’d get the allocation within a week, but still waiting a few weeks later. Was wondering if anyone else is in the same position or if anyone has received a route allocation recently? Also interested to know from anyone that started on generation eJ recently as to how long it took from passing to actually start training. I still need to get my medical, financing pretty sorted, any other big blockers you have encountered? Thanks, F4F |

I’m really hoping that the recent soft sales for this Summer at eJ aren’t giving them second thoughts on the number of pilots they’re going to need. Any thoughts? Also interested to know from anyone that started on generation eJ recently as to how long it took from passing to actually start training. I still need to get my medical, financing pretty sorted, any other big blockers you have encountered? Thanks, F4F Had my stage 3 on February the 5th, got the email saying I'd passed 6 days later and then route allocation about three weeks after but it varies a lot. From what I gather they can group two assesments together for route allocations so it may be you are waiting until the next assesment group gets their results. |

I still need to get my medical, financing pretty sorted, any other big blockers you have encountered? Thanks, F4F Hi, Congratulations on passing stage 3! There were only 3 business days between being advised that I had passed the final assessment at L3 and my route allocation of EZY MPL. This was back in January and the soonest I could get into an AME was 4 weeks. I often see mention of 4-5 week lead times for the big 3 AME's in the UK. I had 2 deferrals in which I had to wait a few weeks for appointments with specialists. I was then lucky that the CAA only took 3 days to review the reports from these deferrals and therefore their extra workload due to brexit does not appear to have impacted my class 1 application, overall the medical process took 2 Months. I have seen posts from other cadets where this timescale has run up to 5 months. I would strongly suggest that you book your initial Class 1 medical as soon as possible. If you receive any deferrals then this will incur delay as you will have to wait for appointments with any relevant specialists. You will then need to account for the time that the CAA takes to review any such deferrals which could be a few days like mine or many weeks as reported by others. If you do not get any deferrals then you could have your Class 1 within 4-6 weeks, if you do get deferrals I would allow up to 3 months end to end. The time it took me to get my Class 1 means I missed the March/April intakes at L3. I am now due to start in May. So pretty much 4 months from route allocation to start date. |
Not sure if this is the correct place to write this but I’m soon to start with L3 at Coventry on CP215E. Anyone else on this course ? |
Thanks to everyone who's posted on here, been really helpful. I have a question, how long do MPL pilots need to stay at easyjet before they can move to another airline?
