SinBin, you tart, do you think you're the only one with a family who's facing an uncertain future at the moment - get over yourself? I too have a young family and am going to the ME.
A solitary baked bean is probably what you'll end up with. 
If you're not "ex BMI yet" why are you looking at this grotty, grubby deal then? I'm not ex-wherever-I-am-now yet but it's likely that I will be so I've done something about it. Mrs STC may not be over the moon at the prospect but she knows that it's the best deal on the table.

not little old me trying to keep a baked bean on the table for my family and a roof over our heads

I think this offer of a permanent contract is hilarious !!! I originally applied to CTC and PARC for this easy deal (as I am soon to be force out of BMI) when I saw the t & c's I thought twice about it.
A few weeks went by and I was contacted again by both CTC and PARC to see if I was still interested.........This all says to me they cannot get the qualified 'bus drivers they want...........how do they address this, offer a maybe/maybe not contract at the end of year !!!!
Do they think we're all stupid ???
I'm off to be buggered by a camel but at least I'll be getting paid well and it's permanent.
This is a complete scam/joke/farce (select the word of your choice)
I know there are guys/girls out there who have no choice and will have to take this, I just hope easy cannot get the numbers they want - it might improve the t and c's for those who take it !

The way things are at the moment with the industry and if you do stay, you run a very good chance of being treated as a second class citizen in your own country. 
If being treated like a second class citizen in someone else's culture and country suits you, then go for it. But please read my posts before posting nonsense! I'm not ex bmi yet either!

Flexi CTC assessment
I have been invited at my cost! to a selection day for the Easy CTC flexicrew contract. Can anyone give me a heads up on the format of the computer aptitude testing (is it the pilapt test program) and the interview, also how difficult is the technical A320 paper. Any info from those of you who have completed this selection day would be very much appreciated

Only if it were being done in isolation - but it's not. This is all part of a piece with the new Cadet joiners contract. The 2 have to be viewed in the same context - a way to drive down T&Cs in easyjet. All part of the dive for the bottom. All those who are taking the contracts are to be congratulated at the assistance they are providing to the cause of plumbing said depths.
I guess it isn't ideal going to the ME. I initially had big reservations about it but I'm past those now and just want to get on with it. It's what you want to make of it I'm told.

You'll be paying to fly soon.

I am about to leave the airline industry and join the corporate world. From what I am seeing around me - I am reasonably confident it is a decision I will probably not regret!

Some of you people need to WAKE THE 
UP!!! Why would you go dish out money, and a large amount of it, money that does not even exist today, to fly an airplane that flys itself, for 6 months, and you dont even know if you will fly 0 or 100 or 200 or 300 hours in that time period?? Oh yeah yeah I forgot, someone you know told you that they know someone who knows someone whos uncles grandmothers brother knows someone who did the flexicrew and was kept after the 6 month period...
I've read it on here about a million times and I will write it once more... If people with large pockets (or small pockets and no logic) stopped entering these kinds of schemes AIRLINES WOULDNT DO IT! They are doing it because you are letting them! I come from a country that was so damn unionized up until 3 years ago, that no one dared to touch pilots! They did whatever they wanted and they got incredible salaries, all had job security, paying for a type rating was unheard of, and if you did pay for it, you werent put on a 6 month close ended contract!
Today poeple go to the airlines and say "yes well i can pay for my type rating".. what are airlines going to do say "oh no no thats fine, we'll dish out 30,000euro for you, its fine, so kind of you but thanks anyway"? Go get some instructor jobs, fly REAL airplanes, fly some TP, fly some air taxi, fly some cargo with MEP's or something! You will learn to fly on airplanes like that! It pisses me off to see 19 year olds pay some integrated flight school money, get a full license in less than 200 hours(!), then pay more money to get a type rating on an aircraft which is fully automated, and they call themselves pilots! And on top of that they piss and moan that there are no jobs out there! You will get raped from behind with these schemes! Putting yourself in debt to fly an airplane with 150+ souls on board and on top of that get paid nothing is not worth it. We all chose a profession which doesnt pay well anymore and it never will ever again, so go fly an airplane with some balls, and have some respect for yourselves! JEEZ!
Ok I got it out of my system now

I agree completely!!!
yes you have paid for a job now, but long term you are reducing the T & C for everyone. Ruining your own future, job security and others at it!!
Why are they so blind(stupid)????

Why on earth would someone be so desperate to join this industry as to pay to fly?!?!? Paying to be at the mercy of the yts kids in crewing and rostering who dictate whether you have a reasonable life or a completely screwed up one. No weekends, no summer, and virtually no pay.
Guys, take your money and retrain in something else, or just give it to me!
Good old days..................................gone.

If EZY are hiring CTC contract pilots on poor terms and assuming they are not all members of BALPA. Have the perm pilots gone to BALPA or rather BALPA got involved if its potentially loosing them ground within the business representing their perm members?
