Easyjet Madness
Moderator
I happened to come across this thread whilst surfing around! I am a reasonably senior easyJet training captain and have worked here for nearly 20 years. I have nothing whatsoever to do with recruitment but, hopefully, I have some idea of what goes on here. Let me try and provide a slightly more balanced perspective, that I hope is from a position of actual knowledge, rather than rumour. EasyJet is not a perfect airline, but next to a national carrier, is about as good as you get in the airline industry. It is genuinely a great place to work and there are very few people who do not enjoy working here. Yes, you have to pay for a type rating, but the pay is fairly reasonable in comparison with other companies and the promotion prospects are excellent.
It is undoubtedly true that we have actively tried to recruit female pilots, but that’s because we had so few of them. Also, we have an increasing number of non-white pilots, but that is a good thing in my view and reflects the demographics of the society in which we live. That said, the overwhelming majority of people I end up training are young white males. To therefore suggest that you have an infinitely greater chance of being selected if you call yourself Linda, instead of Fred, is simply rubbish.
We are currently losing a lot of pilots to the likes of Virgin, British Airways and Emirates. It is clearly the case that we cannot offer long haul or different aircraft types. There are also a few pilots leaving to Jet2, but that’s mainly for geographical reasons that are hard to argue with. Is easyJet, perfect? Absolutely not. However, there are very few companies that are as good to work for as easyJet, for all its faults. We have a very good training system and an excellent safety culture. Also, we are very heavily unionised, which brings with it a huge number of protections. My personal observation would be that a number of people who have left us over the years, if they had their time again, would not have done so. If you go to any airline looking to be miserable, then you will fulfil your ambition very quickly. If you come with a positive attitude, you will find this is about the best places in the industry to be.

Just saying I train more males than females is totally irrelevant.

I have just been sat in a Crawley simulator hall with countless new easyJet pilots. The vast majority were young men with the odd young lady - I would suggest that is what matters. But maybe I am just a sad fantasist making it all up.

I'm not saying you're making it all up, I'm just saying you're not using the correct method.

Do you find it’s often a natural break point at 4/5 years? People either get command or head off to fly a wide body?
Don’t take too much notice of people complaining (again) about the gender ratio. You could hire 15,000 male pilots, one female pilot, and they’d still demand to see her CV as she could only have got the job through an agenda hellbent on driving men out of the profession.

We did some sim assessments for DECs a couple of months back, but I think they were for our European bases and not the UK. There are a huge number of suitable command candidates right now, but a lot of opportunities too. I believe we will have around 250 command upgrades next year.
Regarding people staying for 4-5 years, I think it is a mixed picture. Obviously there is the lure of long haul for young folks who have done a few years at easyJet, but there are also a significant number of people who like short haul and are happy to stay. An easyJet captain’s basic salary is £117,000, which is very achievable for a cadet 5 years after joining. In addition, after 10 years in the Company you get 15% bonus every year (5% after 2 years, 10% after 5 years). You also get around £16,000 in allowances and 7% into the pension. It would take a good few years at BA to reach those numbers, but eventually BA pay overtakes that of easyJet. When I joined 20 years ago easyJet was seen as a passing place on the way to better things. That is no longer the case and there are a lot of people seeing this as a career airline. Horses for courses etc. I hope that helps.
Regarding the whole women thing, all I can tell you is that there are jobs here for everyone -just do not get hung up on this inevitably controversial subject. It’s been a source of endless debate both inside and outside the company - I no longer longer give it a moment’s thought. It really is not worth the hassle. There are so many arguments and counterarguments, and it never really lands anywhere that people are happy with, whatever side of the debate you sit on.

RARA9. This is my 5th airline and I was in the RAF before that. I was in GB Airways before easyJet and a couple of turboprop companies plus a long-gone airline called Debonair (BAe 146 low cost operator that went bust). Hope that helps.

Well said.
Just to stir the pot - are the non binary genders adequately represented at EJ?

It always makes me laugh when people say you will earn more at EZY/RYR quicker.
So what’s EZY FO salary from when you start all in?
Ok BA usually take experience people so doing 1-3 years at Easy then moving to BA you losing that time.
BA you can find figures on PPJN.
Then add £20k to it for extras.
My predicted financial year end is £85kish for current year 1 at BA. Plus company is paying 15% into pension, I haven’t done any overtime on that figure either. A mate of mine last year at BA SH managed close to £100k but he smashed out the overtime.
Going LHS SH after a year to 18 months is possible at present. 5 years pay scale LHS SH £120kish plus the pension which don’t forget is tax free.
EZY/RYR always state the Captain blah blah but forget the time as FO when BA pulling in £20k+ more each year easily.

Don’t laugh too much mate. Rather feel embarrassed at such a crass post. I am sure we all thrilled to find out you’re going to earn all that money in your first year at British Airways? The only problem is you’re answering the question that nobody is asking. There is a thread about British Airways direct entry pilots next door - you may want to go there where there are undoubtedly numerous people who will be unbelievably impressed by your achievements. I personally am not.
Returning to the question in hand, the discussion around paying for type rating costs is undoubtedly frustrating. However, holding to a principle of not paying for a type rating is an invitation to unemployment. You have to balance the cost of the type rating against being unemployed for even six months.
If you are not a high achiever like Mr Aiminghigh above at BA, where you get your type rating paid for, not to mention £85k per annum, posh hotels and special favours in heaven when you die then you may be better to bite the bullet and just cough up. It soon pays for itself.
Regarding easyJet and trans applicants, I have no doubt we would jump at the opportunity to be diverse etc, but I have not personally met anyone yet who would fit the bill.

BA C32L here. Would love to see where you're getting your pay scales from? As a skipper on PP8 my basic is just under £105,000 and my allowances are closer to £12,000-15,000 a year. I have plenty of friends at easyJet and it's a great gig, just like BA, it is what you make it. No need for willy waving on a public forum.
I have nothing against Easyjet and yes if I lived EDI, Bristol etc Easy would be my first choice. The Captains pay is very good at Easy for sure. FOs deserve more. From speaking with exEasys when I did my TR they were struggling in the early years as FOs. Paying back loans etc.
From when I worked at LCC every Captain would say the same. Would never go BA money way better here.
Yes it is what you make of it. BA works for me.
You must be exclusively doing short day trips??even then that seems very low. Looking through my iBid I average £1900 a month in extras. I try to bid for day trips.

Well it’s not about willy waving at all. Just providing information. How comes others are allowed to quote pay then? I came from LCC and had the same debate with my mate. Over a pint while at LCC we got our payslips out. I was shocked at his BA pay.

The Count is correct in that easyJet is what you make of it - if you have a positive outlook and it suits you then it’s great. If it’s not; it’s not. I did over a decade at the place in various countries and only regret staying so long and would rather retire than go back. But that’s an entirely subjective view that doesn’t apply to the next fella. You have to collect your own information and make your own, grown-up decision.
Also as pointed out; the Count’s vantage point on female recruits/trainees etc does not provide a valid view on discrimination in the industry. Much more, closely guarded data would be necessary to make a simply statistical analysis of the situation and get an accurate answer.
