nothing here yet either, a lot of friends with varying levels of experience not successful. But they all pretty much found out on day 1.
Be interesting to hear when people are given the green light.
Good luck to those still in the running.

I am sure your last paragraph was not intended to slur all the high quality SFOs at easyJet who have accumulated 1,000s of hours at the company and are working their way up the Command process.
The change in the origin of our new recruits from a predominantly low hours cadet intake to more of a mixture is not because we will run out of suitable command candidates in the next few years. Based on our planned expansion rate over the next few years we will continue to have highly capable, experienced and known candidates in our Command holding pool for several years before they are given a start date for their upgrade course. Anyone joining now will have 5+ years before a change of seat regardless of experience and ability. I personally believe it will be the start of the next decade before anyone recruited now will swap seats. The change of recruitment policy is driven by other factors but have nothing to do with running out of quality SFOs.

It would clearly be a sweeping generalisation to state that all individuals at Ezy of a certain rank/cadre/experience level are not "up to scratch" and I am not doing this. I am merely stating that if you recruit from the full marketplace then you will get a balanced intake displaying the varied skillset required to be a successful FO/Capt. If you rely on a group that have to pay their way then you are not going to get that variety.
We all bring different things to the party and the Company will be richer for this variety.

The one part of your post I am referring to is this:
"Yes their recruitment tactics over the last 5 years have been questioned by most but now they have realised their SFOs recruited during that period have not got the skillset for Command and now they are doing something about it."
If you did not mean this then perhaps you want to edit it. If you did mean this then perhaps you need to address how you might fit in to easyJet company culture and part of a multi crew environment.

I think some of you are reading too much into it.
I suspect that they've set a pass mark for the online tests that will give them 3-400 people whose CVs will be looked at. Of those, maybe 200 will be interviewed. Everyone below said pass mark will get a PFO.
I don't really buy into any conspiracy: not considering the diversity of experience seen on this tiny little sample of the aviation community who have already received PFOs.
I could, however, be proven wrong if everyone invited for interview has between 1500 and 2000h and possibly very limited command time: in which case, the more plausible theories will have been proven correct.

No PFO yet, but did notice on the Taleo job site that my application status as "Application under review" was updated on the 15th.

for the ones who are still "under review",dont you think its quite plausible that,since the status changed on the day that all the rest received his/her pfo,you probably got a ticket for a 3-day trip to luton assessment center?

To my mind i think that an electronic "barrier" has made all the PFO's we observe since the last 3 days,....and now Appforms are really looked to make another PFO "wave" in the next days....

according to the taleo.easynet website they have looked at my application the last time on the 24th apr. So before I did the tests. Guessing that they need a lot of time...
