Hi all,

I visited Madrid last month and am now enrolled on the November course. I initially wanted Oxford but have to say I was very impressed with the Madrid centre - much more modern than Oxford. If anyone has any questions about Madrid just let me know.

Looking forward to meeting those of you on the November course!

MPL courses next year
 

I went to the September open day at Oxford. They said the generation Easyjet scheme it is usually closed this time of year and they are waiting on confirmation from Easy jet. They think it will be early 2020 before dates are released for those of us waiting to do stage 3. They said that realistically April 2020 will be when the next available slots are available to start ground school. Their general message was that the future demand for pilots is high but so is the current demand for the ATPL and MPL course so its a waiting game.

Hi all,

I'm also part of the team in Madrid on Nov 11th. Glad to meet you guys.
Do you know if there is any group or conversation on Facebook/What's app ?

Hi Mia and Flying_Bob,

A facebook group that has recently been created. The team at Oxford should hopefully forward the group details onto the rest of the group soon.

In the meantime I'll send you a private message with the group details.

Update?
 

Hi Jeff,

My stage 3 was at the end of June w/ easyJet, also got the ATPL. Emailed earlier this month and was told to expect 3-4 weeks more of a wait - pretty much in line w/ waiting for Brexit October 31st, although I'm not hopeful that any info will be given soon because of the mess of Brexit :(
Was also told I'm in the holdpool and as soon as CAE had confirmation from easyJet they'd send out emails and arrange phonecalls.
Hope this info helps cause I know how annoying this weird limbo we're in is.

Sophie :)

Minor Update
 

Hi All,

For those who are waiting in this so called 'hold pool', I don't know if you have seen but CAE have announced that they have signed a training agreement with easyJet and have reopened the Generation easyJet programme. Hopefully this means that the ball is now rolling and we will receive some more information on start dates imminently!

NKK

Hi,
We indeed received more information yesterday after a long waiting period (5 months) -> the easyJet ATPL route is cancelled, we are all thrown away !!!
A very warm thank you to CAE for its professionalism ...

Have they given you any options? Whitetail ATPL?

Yes, Whitetail ATPL with a priority to join easyJet interviews at the end of the training !!!
What a great advantage :D

Oh wow! Definitely what you signed up for eh!

Are they getting rid of just the EZY ATPL, or are they also getting rid of the MPL route as well? I heard a rumour that the MPL will open up again in a few months time.
I've got my stage 2 for whitetail this Wednesday... wish me luck eeeek!

Thank you!

Do you recall if you get given any formulas for the maths and physics sections? What would you recommend to revise the most in maths and physics? I heard a lot of the maths is S-D-T, and a few topics in the physics to focus on.

What should I expect for the cognitive part as well? Is there maths and physics in this again, as well as the memory and recognition stuff?
I've been using SkyTest for the FAST, and feel like I'm pretty good at it now, although i've heard that the main thing they're looking for is an improvement in the second attempt? I also heard that the ball game can catch you out as some of axis are inverted as well?
Thanks for any of your help in advance!
