Ryanair Easyjet

[JaimieP]

Was just wondering what kind of privileges you get if you're a FO at these airlines , and do they change if you are promoted to captain? Thanks, Jaimie

What kind of benefits do you mean ?
Food from C Class, per diems, company car, ID travel, cheaper hotels, luggage?

You get the privileges to gain experience on a jet and a salary. Eventually.

Was just wondering if you are actually allowed to jumpseat to visit other countries, and do you get any discounts etc. Anything really.

Jumpseat - afaik as an flight deck member you can always ask for a jumpseat(own company only of course). If the cockpit crew is really happy to have you all the time in "their office" is a different story.

I always hate when someone sits in the flightdeck jumpseat, especially if it is a TRE (lol).

So yes, based on Captains approval you may get the jump.

No jumpseats in easyJet, except for commuting between home and work under strict conditions.

If you join and it's with CTC/Oxford and you're not employed by EZY then you will not get a commuter letter until you're employed directly by EZY. The commuter letter a
allows you to jump seat as long as you're in uniform and the captain permits it. You'll also need to have checked the staff travel site 6 hours before departure - if ere are no staff travel seats then you'll need to use the commuter letter. You'll get access to the staff travel system with a confirmed seat or a standby ticket. Remember that the confirmed seat is a de facto standby seat as if a fare paying passenger needs there seat you'll be offloaded.
