Non type rated easyjet recruitment?
As a matter of idle curiousity, why should the easyJet HR department NOT be reading this thread? I would be very surprised if they are not.
They probably had you sussed a long time ago.

information recently heard from the horse's mouth:
200 pilots are going to be taken on this year, although, 300 have been advertised. 100 CTC cadets, 50 type rated, 30 ex military, and 20 non type rated.
Do bear in mind the low T+Cs that you'll be signing up for.

The entry terms will be there in Black & White. IF the career path follows the recently announced New Entrant Contract then after 12 months you'll be an employee - not a contractor - with a defined career path and associated benefits.
No-one puts a gun to anyone's head and forces them to sign. Ten years ago it was "Golden Hellos" - they paid YOU to join. Market forces dictate that this is not the case any longer.
You simply have to weigh up the long term - but please, nobody sign up and THEN start whining about how awful the world is....
And before anybody throws the "you're alright" line - yes I am, and I've worked damned hard and sacrificed a lot to get here. There are few better places to be if you can look beyond the next pay cheque.Good luck to all that get to the assessment/sim.

The lack of activity on this thread is odd. Is it because so many have already fallen out of the process?
I take it no NTR have heard anything since the DTC? Are any type rated folk still waiting?
A4, my thoughts exactly. As long as I can afford to live to a reasonable standard then I will be accepting any offer received and not moaning. (Maybe after 5 earlies the dog will get an earful).

I know the hours you have flown are worn proudly (20K+ hours, 15000 PIC, 5000 on type etc, etc), but that is really not that relevant to the recruitment process. Once you have the minimum hours, that is one tick in one box. Being type-rated is another tick in another box (one that is not actually required). Those tests, however, do matter and how you did in those are very important. After that you will go for group exercises, interviews etc and finally a sim session. What happens there is way more important than your total hours.

It is very clear what sort of contract you are going to get. You will be taken on as flexicrew for one year on an hourly rate, before joining the Company proper as a bona fide easyJet employee. Thereafter you do one year a Second Officer on £38k and no allowances, two years as a First Officer on £44,901 + around £8,270 sector pay and then after 2 years in rank (4 years since you joined as flexicrew) you become a Senior First Officer on £55,120 + £8,270 sector pay. Those FO/SFO jobs can end up as 75% salaries depending on which base you go to, as not all bases can offer 100% contracts. All contracts will be get the usual loss of licence, pension contribution of 7% etc. It is only when you become an SFO that you will be guaranteed the 5/3/5/4 roster pattern instead of a random roster. Also the promotions to the different ranks have some total flying hours experience limits attached to them which in the vast majority of cases would not be an issue.
Once you become a Captain, your basic salary is £90,012 (90% of that for the first 6 months) and your sector pay is £26.20 per sector (the Company assumes 480 sectors a year) making the total sector pay around £12,576. In addition you get a 'loyalty bonus' of 5% of basic after 2 years, 10% after 5 years and 15% after 10 years. Those years are backdated to the day you join as an SO, so if it took you 8 years to be come a Captain you would kick in straight away to the 10% loyalty bonus. Again, the Company pays 7% of basic + loyalty pay into your fund each year. In addition there are various performance payments of 2 weeks salary depending on Company success - for a Captain that is capped at £3k and has been paid the last 2 years and probably this year too. Finally, if you become a Training Captain, there are various 'levels', all of which are pensionable (i.e. your 7% includes your Training Captain uplift). You get 12.5% for a Line Trainer, 15% for a TRI, 17.5% for a TRE and 20% for an Airborne Base Trainer.

It's not very clear at all, as there is nothing official about the contract at any stage thus far. Only stuff on here which is anything but concrete. Yes you may be 100% accurate with the details and this is not intended to be a slight on your post, but more about the amount of conjecture on here. It's staggering. We'll find out when they ask 'do you have any questions for us' down at the luton hangar. Go along, do your best at interview then decide if you want it.

ADM is correct, this is the contract and career structure that has been agreed with BALPA. So I don't really see your point of it being unofficial.
In addition easyJet is negotiating with banks to provide a loan structure for newjoiners that reduces their cost in the first years but keeps the total lenght of the loan the same. And offcourse get better interest rates.
