Non type rated easyjet recruitment?

There are no full flight simulators at Luton.
I *think* there's an Airbus sim at Gatwick and Amsterdam.
More qualified folks will confirm this for you.

I think successful applicants will find that the contract terms offered will reflect what they bring to the party. If they are experienced jet operators with in excess of 2500 eJ factored jet hours and type-rated they will probably be offered direct entry SFO. If, on the other hand, they are not type-rated, have only flown turbo-props and have barely 1000hrs they should expect to be offered Flexi SO/FO. The terms will be the NEC but the joining point will vary depending on an individual's experience.
The recruiters are not daft. They know that if the offer is strictly Flexi-crew into SO then FO then they will not attract experienced, type-rated pilots.
My source is reasonably reliable.

Apart from pay and T&C, what is the difference between a SO and a FO? I take it SO on EZY is not the same as SO on CX?
In other words, are SOs fully type rated and doing all the duties of a FO?
Not that it makes any difference to me. I'll still take it if it gets offered. I'm just curious.
(Me: DTC but nowt so far. Non TR, experienced <10T)

I'm ex-military, non-TR with DTC several weeks ago and have just received a well done but you have not reached the necessary standards email. Sounds very similar to the emails sent out last week for TR qualified applicants.
Good to luck to those still in the melting pot

Thanks TransitionL. I'm lucky that I am still in a very good job but just wanting to move into the airline world ASAP. Holding out for the Aer Lingus and Dragonair application now!
It's probably worth noting that my email was titled "First Officer - Non-type rated (military) (V2)-01512 - Result of Application" so clearly they are moving through their different application categories.
Good luck to all

Ex military and.....'you have not reached the necessary standards'. I hope you treat that comment with the utter contempt and disdain it deserves.
Better luck next time with a more deserving and knowledgeable employer.

I think Judge11 was referring to the actual phrasing. To say that a military trained pilot has not reached the required standards when he has already passed their lame online aptitude tests is laughable. That is not arrogant, as a mil pilot he will have already passed a far more gruelling selection process and flying training system than any civvy pilot. That's not arrogance it's the truth.
What they meant to say was "we have only a few positions for ex military pilots and we have had to make an unforeseen cut in numbers as so many of you passed our aptitude tests."

What's the text of the CV review email? I've had several from EZY, the last one being a DTC. Nothing since.

Congratulations on getting through to the next stage of the recruitment process for the role of First Officer with easyJet. The interest in the opportunity has been significant and, as a result, competition for places with us has been tough, so you have done really well to get this far.
We are now completing our final review of applications and CV’s and will be short listing the candidates that will be invited to an easyJet assessment centre in the next 2 weeks. If you are successful following final shortlisting you will receive an invitation to book yourself on to an assessment centre, so please look out for this and log in to see the available dates and times as soon as you can.
If you are invited to an assessment centre we will go through more information with you on the types of contract and locations which are available. However, just as a reminder, we will be offering both permanent and contract opportunities, both in the UK and across our mainland European bases. Contract opportunities also lead to a permanent easyJet contract, pending further assessment, after 12 months have elapsed.
We are really looking forward to meeting you. Please stay in touch and if anything should change in your circumstances which might affect your application, please contact us at [email protected]
Kind regards
Pilot Recruitment Team
