Non type rated easyjet recruitment?

[ulisse]

Hi
Can anyone describe the interview process

Starting from online test for DEC

[LGET]

All NTR and TR First Officers positions are now closed and there is only one position open named "Monarch Co-Pilots". Having such a big pool of TR guys available it may delay start dates for NTR guys I guess... Especially those looking for UK bases

[Luckyheader]

Does anyone know long approximately it would take to get a French base? I'd ideally like to join as SFO with 8000 hours TT.

If that were to happen, how long roughly for a command and then again getting a French base?

Thank you for any help.

Regards

People have joined straight to France in recent years, it totally depends on the needs of the moment, new bases openings, etc.

For the upgrade, the process itself is very long, and you can start it after 6 months in the company. Plan on at least 1,5/2 years after date of joining to the end of command course line training, and that's in ideal conditions.

For France after upgrade, again, it depends on the moment. Last year some positions were available in FR for newly upgraded Captains, but be ready to move to LGW or LTN initially and join a transfer list, if you desperately want the left seat.

SFO unlikely as I know of one pilot with 7000 hours, of which 2500 were A320 command was only offered a second officer contract.

[dirk85]

In france you get a SFO contract if you have more than 3000 hours factorized and EASA ATPL. There is no room for negotiation, they cant offer what they want. It's a contractual clause.

I am not familiar with the uk contract.

What people have to realize is that easyJet contracts across Europe are very different in terms of money, roster, pension, part time options, base freeze, taxes, etc.
It's almost like working for different companies.

If you're paying Portuguese tax you can reckon on €75-80k net in year 1. Tax rates depend on whether you're single or married and if you have kids or not.

Those numbers don't include the annual performance bonus (maximum 20% basic salary for captains), obviously you can't plan on the full amount of that every year.

There's talk of the government decreasing tax for higher earners by 3% next year which would be a nice extra 3-4K take home.

After 5 years in the company with the loyalty bonus and pay increases you can expect €85-93k net per year.

Hi,

Any news on EasyJet ntr FO Recruitment ?
Are still interviews taking place?

[dirk85]

They have just re-opened the recruitment for easyJet Switzerland, type rated and not.
I don't expect big numbers, as far as I know there is already a decent number of people in the holding pool waiting to be called for the next summer season, plus all the Monarch guys, and now Air Berlin, for which assessments are being already scheduled.

[Ezy12221]

Thanks a lot for info....by holding pool You mean people scheduled for Assesment or just after waiting to start training?

[VJW]

Holding or in Easyjet’s case Talent Pool is where you ‘go’ once you’ve passed their recruitment process and you’re waiting to be offered a start date.

[eiffel]

Do Easyjet give an reply, whether positive or negative, after the online assessment?... (Apart from: "You have successfully completed the online assessment...")
Two months, and stil nothing....

[dirk85]

Yes they do, in my experience. You can still check on the website to confirm your application status...

Hi ,

I was wondering if any of you in the pool, had received a start date as experience NTR F/O base in Gatwick or Luton for the TR course.

I would be grateful if you know what is their intentions. "like how many NTR F/O do they need and when?

Thanks to all of you

[dirk85]

The situation right now is very dynamic, between Air Berlin and Monarch.

Before all this happened the needs were for about 450 pilots, same as last year. To give you an idea last roughly 300 were cadets, 100 direct entry F/O and thr rest DEC.
Now it's everybody's guess, with so many rated and experienced pilots on the market.

Phenix007, when did You have Your Assesment and how long You've waited for feedback?

[phenix007]

I have done my assessment 6 months ago and got the positive feedback to be in the pool 4months later.
I have no clue about their intentions( due to Monarch and Air berlin) , even worst I can not apply to EZY switzerland because I am in the pool.
Someone wrote somewhere on Pprune, Ezy switzerland are looking for 40 pilots ( true or not I don't know) but if it is the case why they don't offer us this possibility mostly if Gatwick and LUTON are full house.

[dirk85]

The selection process is separate between the two AOC, with a tech part in the swiss one.
I have heard of people being offered Switzerland but it was unconfirmed and I don't know it it went through...

[LGET]

Hi all,
I received the offer today as NTR FO. I will start the type at the end of January.
My base will be Venice which was my 3rd choice and I am very happy with it.
I suggest you hang tough and eventually they will contact you.
Best of luck

Hey LGET,

Could I ask you when you did your screening, and if you had applied as Direct Entry FO with another Airbus TR ?
