I'm absolutely certain that EasyJet recruitment are reading this thread, and to this end I wouldn't be surprised if in the next couple of weeks everyone who has a DTC will get a further email saying something like:
"Your selection day will be held at [blahblahblah]. Please make sure you bring your licence, medical, logbook and proof of your ability to self-fund a type rating. Such proof may be a bank statement or a letter from your bank stating that your application for a loan will be approved."

Thanks for the email address, elvisvegas.
Everybody I know that had applied already got an answer, that's why I thought maybe I should check in and ask. But the whole process has been scheduled quite in advance and they still have plenty of time to sort out who's in or out. So I guess I'll wait a bit more to email them.

McBruce: I think the RBI example was stupid. It explained the basics of the RBI and the beacon and how the needle points to the beacon blah blah blah... Then you done the example and applied instrument theory and the example was wrong

Sorry, but the example wasn't wrong at all: it is simply how it works, because NDB doesn't have radials and it simply shows always the sation bearing, regardless of the magnetic bearing of the gyro.
I think most people who didn't get it maybe haven't used an RBI before and probably only used an RMI???
The difference being an RBI will always show you heading north i.e. north at the top whichever direction you are actually flying (unless you turn it to match the heading which wasn't an option on the test)
Whereas an RMI will rotate to show the aircrafts actual heading and thus make it a'lot easier to workout your bearing to/from an NDB

Interesting article in the Balpa log about the new entrant contract. Looks like, for an initio pilots, a year flexi, a year second officer on £38k (no mention of variable pay), 2 years fo, then Sfo. This seems to be a slight change to what had been mentioned on this thread previously. Has the direct entry nec changed also?
Still no news after my DTC.

Just a thought........
How many DTCs would be interested in the contract above? Personally, with my limited experience in the airline industry listed below, I would struggle to justify to my wife (and myself) at the age of 40 and with 3 children why I was taking a MASSIVE pay cut to satisfy my dreams of being an airline pilot when I am already in a well paid flying job.
I think the contract report above is well balanced and is justly reported speculation. Lets wait and see.
Now here's some speculation:
Emails to all DTCs in 2 weeks
Interviews in Jul/Aug
Grumpy posts saying "I messed it up" in Sep
Ultimately the contracts should be befitting of the individuals attending the interviews.........I hope. If not, say no, I will!
3500TT
Ex-Mil
2500 Fast Jet
Still flying FJs

Just to clarify, the contract above is what the low hour pilots would be on. There is no suggestion that this is the proposed direct entry contract. I would think that dep would skip step 1 and 2 at least.
Some info from the inside would be very helpful

For those DE candidates it will be the NEC already mentioned in this thread.
The only real question is how the TR will be funded. From the BALPA article it appears it may be through some EJ guaranteed loan
