Non type rated easyjet recruitment?

[jayc004]

So, have all the people who interviewed at the end of the summer heard outcomes now?
I know of a few DEC guys who have been offered type ratings, but it seems that everyone is being sent out to Stockholm to do the type rating, and is having to pay €25,000+ for the privilege.

Hey guys it's been almost a month for me and my interview partners and no response yet. Does it seem that all the people that have waited that long to get an answer were hired? What about you guys that have been told yes have they given you a TR date yet?

[PPRuNe user 103842]

Took them 2 months to get back to me. No news is good news. They are slow, if after 8 weeks no response, call them. My TR starts late Feb in Stockholm

[Barnouz]

Thank you my friend good luck for the TR enjoy Stockholm!

Is Non Type Rated Recruitment expected for AMS? (FO)

[Solenoid]

How long does it take to get the positive or negative reply from them after doing the assessment?

[Buttie Box]

Hi folks

I was wondering if there was a way of contacting recruitment directly. I'm a pilot, 6000 hrs mostly 747-200/400 and C-130. Due to illness, I had to take a break from flying. This year saw me regain my Class 1 and I now have a CPL with ME IR (frozen ATPL). The easyJet application online was straightforward except for one aspect: are you in current flying practice? I've 3.5 hours in the past year regaining my license and without wishing to sound arrogant, the return to the cockpit was quite comfortable as if I'd never been away. I meet all the other criteria.

I notice that trainees are taken from CTC: I'm hoping that my previous experience counts for something. I'd be grateful for any thoughts the forum body have.

Hi,

Applying for NTR DEP UK,

I notice on the "recruitment process page" it says they don't look at your application until you complete the online assessments, when should I receive a link to the online assessments? Has anybody received such a link?

Regards

[FLEX SRS]

I did my online tests yesterday and just had a positive response, so pretty quick.

I had a link in an E-Mail within a couple of days of sending my application in, which then took you to login to their recruitment page.

Whilst you wait, the LPJ website has some great practise tests on there which will help when you get your link.

Best wishes

If anyone has previous experience I just want to get a feel of how long things may take in the recruitment process. Been in the FO pool couple of months now. Has anyone had to wait much longer than that? In fact, has anyone spent a whole year and not been offered anything? Thanks

Sad state of affairs having to pay to work for what is basically an unsustainable long term job.10k for this ,20K for that,what has happened to aviation?At least with RYR you don't have to pay up front as NTR DEC and the type rating as a contractor is tax deductable.
What really makes me laugh about EZY is as the share price has halved in a year Caroline thingys top priority is to get more women pilots...like the men in this dogpoo industry have it easy!

[Mike Jackson]

Is their any possibility of applying for Easyjet if not currently operating as pilot on commercial aircraft?
Seems that even with thousands of hours of medium/heavy Boeing experience that I cannot apply as not currently employed as pilot even though only recently ceased flying commercially. Can't get past first stage of application if cannot tick box to say currently flying airline operations.
Any route open to me?
Thanks

No one has to pay when we're talking about DEC! And if you do, then you're just making a fool out of yourself, in my opinion. If we're talking about 250h cadets I can understand the urge, but not for experienced captains. Anyway, I don't know where you heard about DECs at easyJet paying anything, even the TR and especially upfront. The ones I know and that moved there recently are really well paid and paid nothing.

Ryanair isn't bad either, but when you're a DEC I'd look for better working conditions. Ryanair flies for some islands in the atlantic and it's not uncommon that pilots have to listen to HF for hours because they're not even SELCAL equipped!

This is just my point of view but from a certain monthly income upwards, I'm looking for decent working conditions and not just the one that pays better.

The AmyJohnson thing is marketing, either you understand it or you don't. EasyJet has to make millions, and if millions are made by saying what people want to hear, then that's what you do! I do support women in the cockpit and I've flown with some that were way better than some guys, and the opposite has happened too. Girls do have it easier sometimes, but not always and that doesn't mean they don't put on all the necessary effort.

I do suppose though that your nickname kinda gives it away

PFDriver you're a little out of touch. NOT ORANGE is talking about NON TYPE RATED (NTR DEC). As a NTR DEC wanting to join LGW base, I would have had to pay £20-£25,000 for the A320 type rating....I was reaffirmed this at the EJ interview. The only bases a NTR DEC doesn't have to pay for the rating is if they join a base in Portugal or PMI.

[PFDriver]

Alright, nevermind then. The guys I know joined portuguese bases, maybe that's why In any case I find it ridiculous that someone experienced enough to join as DEC really couldn't find an airline which paid them the TR..

[Fire and brimstone]

Wow! EZY have a base in PMI!!

Sounds amazing!

FTSE100 company with a base on a stunning island in the med. Sounds to good to be true. Anyone know how good the deal is, T&C's, pension etc.

Why are they recruiting DEC's, can't they promote from within? Thought they were fully crewed, too, to ensure 2016 issues don't happen again?

Share price will be back at £19 too soon. Way too much negativity on here for my liking. EZY sounds like a great place to work.

4 months off in PMI, not sure if paid or not. Spanish contract far from being the best on the network...

[flyboy146]

Dark Soldier - Im in a similar state to yourself. Been in the hold pool since December but my sim partner has been offered a start date in May. To be honest I have no idea and even people in EZY don't seem to know. I haven't heard of anyone swimming for a year.

As far as I know from guys in the company the training dept is swamped so it will take some time I guess. They are leaving it tight if they want guys ready for the summer given that most people have 3 months notice.

[Fokkerdriver]

EZY is a great place to work :-)

PMI is for sure going to be a great base - unfortunately 4 months unpaid every year.
Captain contract was improved slightly with housing allowance, but I can't say if it only for transfers or also DEC.

But for sure a great opportunity for someone who wants to relax 4 months during the wintertime

[dirk85]

Flyboy, when I was at the assessment they were clear, the last induction courses for the summer will start in March/April, after that it is going to be September/October. And I am talking about type rated people, with far less training required...
