Agree with all that Doug has just said except about little white cloud.
Believe me I am a ringleader in the fight against Cor and gangs tactics, but that childs nonsense has no place in a serious debate about EZY's future.
When I was brand new I recognised that my keeness was not always matched by those around me, but I also recognised how much they knew and how little I knew, but we could all fly an ILS etc. Little white cloud thinks his liscence has granted him all knowing.

So I am afraid Doug, judging by the warm reception he normally gets on here, you are not in a large majority who think he has much to say of substance.

Anyone can see the Ryanisation that is happening at EZY, and it is a serious threat and those both in and out of BALPA in EZY had people had better start smelling some coffee, fast. We are on the back foot here after the pay talks and Cor is just dying to break us. Him and AH are just the old good cop/bad cop routine.

But since this topic is about the holding pool, to those swimming, what you initailly dived in to the pool for maybe not what you end up getting!

Would it not help if we all stopped calling them "Andy" and "Cor"? How about simply Harrison and Vrieswijk.

C & A
 

You and most people obviously know who we're talking about, so what difference does it make?

Merry Xmas! :p

Doug,
Is this the link to the new cabin crew corporate scanties?...:E

It would remove the faux-mateyness. Or perhaps that's too old-fashioned for some.

"Faux-mateyness"
 

Errrrrrrrrr.........say what??? :confused:

So much for my (postmodern ;) ) high school French.

Vrieswijk, Andy, C & A. whatever! :)

Could we expecting a call or a mail before xmas:sad:

i m really upset at this time and i m reconsedering the offer...4months no news!!!!:D

Nobody said it is easy with EZY! That is the same when you are "inside":eek:

at last :}:D
You have not started with easyJet that you are already fed up !

By the way guys, with the coming local contract will it be worth being a BALPA member, or that' s better going to French Association (SNPL), Italian association, polish association, etc...
Dont forget, think twice, you want the command so say bye bye to english contract... (Ryanair method with the carotte)

This is the end of the year and still no news:{no mail , no phone call nothing:{

so i hope for the next year a lots of good news for us for all the bases and i want to wish you an happy new year in orange;)

for all swimming in the pool;););););););)

Morning water-treaders,

I flew with a chap involved with recruitment at easy the other day and I asked him approximate waiting times for those in the pool;

Answer was around the middle of next year apparently, but remember that this can all change quickly. . .

Fits with what I heard - no deliveries untli Q3/Q4

Been offered 737 starting in a couple of months, no base yet though.

Anyone have any ideas where I might expect? Luton is my preference.

I heard that Luton are next to convert to the wonderful bus. Might be a rumour tho - started by those on the 73 at LTN!!!

Not a rumour. LTN is the next base to convert from Boeing to Airbus. Commencing around Aug/Sep depending on delivery dates. First crews are being trained up as we speak.

I also understand that many of our FOs are currently in the BA selection process. On past performance, a significant number of them will be successful and therefore there will be a host of opportunities coming up later in the year for aspiring easyJet pilots. You heard it here first.....

No dep before october..........:ouch:and:ugh:and:sad:and:(and:mad:

I heard recently that I made it into the holding pool. Alas, start date is sometime between October 2008 and September 2009.

Is it likely to be later rather then sooner?

hi all

been in the easyjet hold pool for nearly a year, DEC, non rated. The latest info I've been offered reflects that from the website - courses from late this year. Can anybody give me an idea as to why they'll be a requirement for DEC's then? - whats occuring to give rise to that requirement? Surely there's enough promotable FO's? I ask as having had a false start or two I'd rather not be in this position this time next year when I should have taken my labour elsewhere.

cheers

B

Hi B,

A lot of F/O's are waiting for their command and a whole bunch of experienced GB F/O's will soon join us , so don't put too many hopes on EZY. Probably no DEC, especially non-rated, in 2008, sorry...
