Easy Jet A-319 Recruitment.

[Tibesti 3415]

Does anyone know when Easy is accepting CVs from A-320 rated pilots ? And where would the interwievs be held ?
Is the Geneva base a separate division of Easy or will it be under the same flight operation management in Luton ?

They accept an on-line-application, do not answer for a while, invite you for a "Roadshow" one day in advance, send you some information about a new recruitment process, notify you about another roadshow.....and so on. Seems, they donīt really need rated pilot for the aircraft they ordered.

[carlos vandango]

they will need A319 people, but probably about 24hrs before they arrive. Seems to be the industry norm these days

I'm sure if you write them a nice letter they will employ you with a full salary while they wait for the arrival of new aircraft, given that they are so desperate for your services.

What a boon it is to a low cost airline to know there are applicants of your calibre available.

Whenever you are ready please let us know and we will roll out the orange carpet.

[carlos vandango]

Engee73, they don't even employ people with a full salary after they start. If it's full of guys like you, a brown carpet would be more appropriate.

[Engee73]

Stay where you are then gents.

[carlos vandango]

Good call NG, couldn't afford the pay cut anyway.

The orange life stinks, IMO you'll probably have more fun nailing your scrotum to the floor.

[Engee73]

I might just try that then!

[unwiseowl]

How did it go then?

[Engee73]

Slightly easier than cutting your arm off with a pocket knife

[Smokie]

Overdoverover,

My company have just done that , now I'm waiting for the KY.

[Shaka Zulu]

What I heard was they would start recruiting in August for the A319's....
Where I don't know. But best guess will be normal London Luton HQ. Since only the first 6 Busses or so will go to Geneva...

[Side Stick Priority]

Do you need to be Airbus rated or will they accept non Airbus rated pilots as well?
Regarding the large number of pilots Easy will/might need...

[Engee73]

As usual you can expect that a rating will not be necessary but suitable candidates with a rating will not be ignored.

Expect the first busses to fly in the UK ex LGW from Feb 2004.
