Selection Easyjet Switzerland
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if someone have any info concerning the selection for Easyjet Switzerland. I know ther is a Technical test, group exercice and an interview but no idea what to expect.
If it's positif then there is a sim check. But I have no info neither...
I know there is a book to prepare for the easyjet UK selection. Do you thing it's a good idea to use it as well for the Switzerland selection?
Any info on what we can expect will be really appreciate.
Thanks in advance

Hi there!!
As Easyjet has opening his door to new pilots, I would like to know few things that will help to decide to apply or not. Hope you can help me.
Here are the questions.
1. Typical roster
2. Salary net per month (I have seen that there are some numbers in a post before but I don´t know if is it gross or net). Taxes in Switzerland.
3. Average time for a command
4. Chances to move afterwards to another EZY base (CDG, MXP, LIS, MAD, ...)
5. Leave days per year
6. Work environment
7. Extra info to consider?
I think that is all for the moment. I hope you can help me.
Have all a great journey.

To nopoal and rock&go:
typical montly roster: 1x4 consecutive days off, 1 or 2 x 2 consecutive days off, 1 or 2 x 3 consecutive days off. No single days off, around 3-4 standby days. One can expect to fly about 16-17 days a month.
The salary figures given by el Sche are before tax. Taxes in Switzerland vary a lot from the Canton and village you're living. In general one can say they are probably among the lowest in Europe. Also depend on your family status, double income, etc. I think you can be anywhere in a range of 10 to 25%.
Average time to command 3-4 years the last 5-6 years. In the future... who knows... depending on expansion.
Leave days per year: 5 weeks.
Change of base: why would you do that?
Moral: in GVA is not at the highest level. BSL is good.

And do not forget the following deductions:
5.05% deduction for the official pension fund (AHV)
2.5-25% depending on age to raise your own pension fund (required by law!)
1% jobless insurance
and health insurance which you have to pay for your own beginning from CHF 180.- per person/month (remember, you and your wife is already two...)
P.S. fo a single person taxes might be around 20% (BSL) and 22% (GVA)
You can also calculate individually here: Tax calculator| Finance | homegate.ch

TOGA 10,
Thank you for your detailed figures about days off and leave.
May I ask you what is your final take home pay after all the taxes and compulsory deductions?
What would it be as Captain?
Thanks a lot for anyone's reply.

TOGA 10 & Luftibus,
Many thanks for your answers gentelmen.
Last one, I have applied for assessment for the initial flexicrew contract, and after being successful on the application I am now waiting for the release of the next assessment dates. Do you guys know if it's incompatible, or not well regarded, to apply to both schemes?
Anticipated thanks for the replies.

Hi Bubair,
montly take home for captains (salary + sector pay) is about 14000 chf. If you're a swiss citizen or resident you declare your income once a year and taxed according your personal situtation (place you live, marital status, children,...). If you live across the border or you are a temporary working permit holder you're taxed "à la source", which means your tax is deducted from your salary automaticaly each month. I think it's around 20%. Senior first officer take home money is 8500 chf (less 20% if taxed à la source).
Hi Rock&Go,
go for easy switzerland option if you can. I flew recently with few ex flexicrew guys. Didn't hear a lot of good things...
Good luck to all

I had some problems with their site
I have 2000 hrs 737 so it seems I fulfil bullet point 2 and 3, yet I got this as a reply from them;
Please note that to apply for the role of First Officer for our Swiss base, it is a requirement to be type rated on the Airbus A320 and possess a minimum of 300 flying hours on type in the last 24 months.
If you are unable to meet this criteria then unfortunately, you do not meet the minimum requirement for the role and therefore you do not need to contact us again unless your situation changes and you are able to meet this criteria in the future.
I replied, stating that's not what their/your website says, and waiting for a reply to that!
Something isn't right, is it me?

@vjw
You are right the homepage says ONE of the reqs must be met.
I filled out the online app! At a certain point they ask if you are rated on airbus with more than 300 on type. I answered with no and the system kicked me out!?
I also meet two reqs except the airbus type.
It is sad so many companies hiring and almost everyone requires an airbus rating. Can someone tell me where all the bus rated people should come from. Looks like the airlines are not desperate in finding pilots?
Regards and happy landings
