I did my assessment in mid December, over a month later got the good news and am now waiting for a course but since I didn't bid for any London bases, it may be a while. I don't believe any of us have been offered a start date yet.

Guys - this is all just absolute drivel and highlights why you should never listen to PPRuNe. I have no idea what goes on at Ryanair but I am a Gatwick-based easyJet Training Captain and know exactly what goes on there. It is absolute rubbish to talk of limits on employment at easyJet based on nationality- it just is not true. I see pilots of every nation and background coming through, including numerous Brits. Where they end up in terms of base is all down to where the Company wants them and is absolutely nothing to do with their nationality. I just flew some sectors with an Italian DEC ex-Ryanair 737 captain who will be based in Venice. The flight before that was with a Brit ex-Embraer DEC from BA City Express. I see pilots of all nations all the time - anything you are hearing to the contrary is just rubbish. Brexit has not changed who we recruit one iota. Hope that helps.

Brexit didn't change anything OK, but I guess it's too early to find out/know what's gonna happen. Will the situation remain the same in 2 years or so once the Brexit is "done"?.
I live in USA but I lived in UK for a couple of years and I love it (European passport/Soon US citizen). It'd be a shame not being able to apply for any british airline in the future, although I guess that's exactly what's gonna happen.

I know this is a rumour network, but occasionally some facts are quite nice too. I do not know everything about easyJet, but being now in my 14th year of working there has enabled me to get to know a lot of people, including recruiters of every level. I may be deceiving myself, but I feel I would have heard that we were no longer recruiting Brits, especially as it would be illegal and most of the recruiters are Brits themselves. Nonetheless, it is never good to let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I personally know of a number of these 'blacklisted' Brits who are currently doing TR courses, just started line training or awaiting TR start dates. A significant number of others are also in the pool. This is the current position. What happens over the next 1, 2, 3, 5 years because of Brexit is anyone's guess. I don't think anyone knows how it will affect the ability of Brits to work abroad or affect EZY's operation, as it has not even been negotiated by the Governments yet, so it is highly unlikely any decision has been made by EZY on reducing their recruitment

DarkSoldier - at last, someone with common sense. Your are absolutely right, but as I said before, facts can be very boring compared to the rumour.
