easy taking guys from monarch? Try the other way round...

Wild Swan 15th May 2013 13:50

PFO for me too. 3000TT Mil non-TR.

f27m50 15th May 2013 13:56

anybody who got a positive mail? would be nice to have some light at the end of the tunnel ;)

Father Fintan Stack 15th May 2013 13:59

A PFO for me also - 2500TT, civilian turboprop driver from the UK.

The very best of luck to those who made it through to the next stage.

ReallyAnnoyed 15th May 2013 14:07

If there indeed were 3,500 applicants and 200 alleged spots, then well over ninety percent will be told thanks, but no thanks. Was very different when I joined many moons ago as the company was screaming for pilots.

perceval 15th May 2013 14:12

OK , I had to try the 'tunnel' thingy on my laptop's pad and the mental arithmetic hasn't always been my strong point , but I do wonder what the tests are telling them about our flying abilities . Just wondering . Wasn't my day either anyway . Good luck to those who passed .
10,000 TT DHC-6 , L410 , C208 ..etc...etc...

DutchSchaeffer 15th May 2013 14:16

PFO for me too, ex-mil 2000 hrs FJ.

Best of luck to everyone still in the running.

smalljetpilot 15th May 2013 14:50

Me too
 
PFO :(
It was nicely written but that made it worse!
As I scrolled down on my phone I thought I'd made it through for a second :(

eaglesnest1972 15th May 2013 14:51

10000TT?!!!!!

My god...well mate, lets take it with phylosophy...

Cheers:ok:

PROP KING 15th May 2013 15:02

3500TT, 1500 PIC on F50 & Q400...... PFO twenty minutes ago.

sps1013 15th May 2013 15:15

PFO's clearly going to those people with real life experience and a desire to fly.

Welcome to easy jet letters going to Daddies little rich kids willing to pay for a career.

...simple really.

Nothing really changes in this field.

The English Passenger 15th May 2013 15:16

PFO for me too, mil QFI, 4500 hrs on lots if types (2500 multi).

I will console myself in the knowledge that loads applied and only a few will get through. If the poster above with 10,000 he's got PFO'd then there must be some very capable and experienced/type rated people applying.

No rush, I have a secure job, just looking for a different shade if green (or orange?).

The English Passenger 15th May 2013 15:20

Excuse my spelling above... iPhone & fat fingers!

flylite 15th May 2013 15:22

PFO for me too. 7500hrs+ 5000hrs command, jet time etc. obviously not capable of sitting in the RHS!:rolleyes: Oh well!

1013 with altsel 15th May 2013 15:24

4000TT Jet PFO

Good luck to everyone waiting!

Fat Dog 15th May 2013 15:47

PFO.

4000+ Boeing LHS.

gpsman1 15th May 2013 15:47

10600 TT 8000 jet time 600 A320 family, did not pass either.
I thought that even Capt. Sully, the hero who ditched the Airbus in the Hudson would have failed it.
About verbal reasoning... instead of trying that impossible task, wouldn't have been better just to wild guess all the 18 answers?

superdash 15th May 2013 15:55

PFO here also 2000TT Turbo Prob all right seat.

Maybe easyjet are attempting to put NASA out of business by stealing all their commanders ;)

Superpilot 15th May 2013 16:09

Guys, so sorry to hear that. Waiting patiently for mine. Out of interest when did you guys do the assessment? Towards the beginning or end? (Beginning for me)

SpamCanDriver 15th May 2013 16:23

Damn thought I might of made it through but just received the PFO :{

6000hrs 737/757/767/777

Go or Stay 15th May 2013 16:27

PFO here too, 5000 hours, current UK Q400 captain.

Has anyone had a positive outcome yet?

Ditto with the hope over reading on the phone, congratulations in first paragraph then pfo next paragraph.

Good luck to those still in with a chance

dan1165 15th May 2013 16:35

Guys don't worry you are just too good for them :cool: . They don't deserve you := !!!!

TeacupTerrier 15th May 2013 16:50

PFO. 3,500 TT including 1,000 command on a large turboprop.
I don't think money was/is a motivator for selection. There were no questions relating to that topic in part two of the process. I would have happily paid if the rewards justified the investment.

I didn't quite finish the maths, and only answered about eleven of the eighteen verbal reasoning questions (which were clearly written by someone whose grammar skills were, shall we say, not perfect).
I reckon I 'aced' the RBI component, though.

smalljetpilot 15th May 2013 16:54

.
 
I dont know anyone who made it through.
maybe superpilot has though with no response!!
I did my test reasonably early on.

spacecadet 15th May 2013 16:57

Just got PFO'd.

Letter begins to say congratulations on making the 2nd phase, then the next paragraph tells you to PFO in a very nice way!

I thought I done pretty well in all the tests, apart from the verbal reasoning where I only managed 4 or 6 answers!

None TR, 3,000 h med & heavy jet.

nicob 15th May 2013 16:57

don't have any response at this time as well......

mac81 15th May 2013 16:59

PFO for me and my collegue as well....ex mil non type rated.
:}:}:ugh::ugh:

spider_man 15th May 2013 17:02

Non type rated easyjet recruitment?
 
4000hr+ on Boeing. PFO
Orientation exercise and verbal reasoning total non sense, so not surprised by the result.

DutchSchaeffer 15th May 2013 17:06

That verbal reasoning assessment was transcending space and time! Utterly ridiculous.

M33 15th May 2013 17:16

2000TT NonTR Turboprops

PFO

Mind don't feel too bad when I look at others who have had same reply.

wotan 15th May 2013 17:28

Commander Chris Hatfield non type rated 6000hrs mixed fleet experience shuttle and ISS through to interview and group assessment ;-))

Piloto2011 15th May 2013 17:39

Wow, there sure is a heck of experience out there! I am sorry for the guys and gals that got the no. But it seems most of you are already in bred and butter so it should not be too bad news for you.

Do not quote me on this, but hearing of the type of people that received a PFO is making me believe they are looking for pilots that meet their stated hour requirements only just. This is for two reasons: It was made mention earlier that the CAA was on their case, demanding more experience throughout the company. I could imagine the CAA had a say in setting the mark as to whom to hire. So it would make a whole lot of sense for easy to hire people that do not excel their requirement by much to only keep the CAA happy. The obvious other advantages are - something RYR Training keeps stressing too so I hear - people with only little experience can be moulded in more easily and are more likely to accept lower Ts and Cs.

Further I believe the last and just as equally as important loop to jump through was the first two untimed profiling exercises. Those had obviously been made by people involved in flight ops and were specifically addressing issues eJ Captains seem to be facing on a day-to-day basis with their present set of FOs. So if you did not exactly match their preferred profile you would be out of the race. The other stuff that many here suspect to have been the issue for being sent a no, in my book, only played a minor role.

f27m50 15th May 2013 18:36

Piloto 2011,i think your 100% right.

the only people ive heard not having received any bad news are,myself included,under the age of 25,and barely meeting the 1500TT requirement with heavy turboprop/regional jet experience!

Skystar02 15th May 2013 18:47

The question is... Has anybody passed? Because all my colleagues did not pass neither.

3500 hours and more than 2000 medium jet experience.

In my honest opinion Easyjet did not played a fair match and the real requirements are not clear.

Good luck!

Woolfgang 15th May 2013 18:53

PFO also. Disappointing, need a job.

Military, non type rated.

4000+ TT, 3000+ Heavy Jet, 2000 PIC

Woolfgang 15th May 2013 19:13

Looking on the bright side I've just saved myself 20,000 quid on an Easy type rating!

flieng 15th May 2013 19:17

Easy App
 
Also got the rejection today. In all honesty exactly what I,d expected. I think I did ok on the tests but I believe this whole recruitment episode has agendas beyond looking for pilots. I would not have wanted to pay for the training or accept one of their lousy contracts. I applied for the same reason as others have given, speculative. Over the last decade this Company has been reprehensible in the way they have treated professional pilots and has been a major player in debasing the job of piloting aeroplanes. What I am impressed with is the teamwork of my colleagues on this forum who have tried to care and share information so that we could all get jobs. I wish you all well and hope you are fortunate in being employed by a reputable employer.

apruneuk 15th May 2013 19:26

PFO. 4000 hrs, 2500 jet. FI. Starting to see a trend here...

Spiro 15th May 2013 19:39

5000+ TT, 4500 Jet, 3000 command ex-mil - no PFO yet but nothing else either......I probably left them the wrong email address from the sound of things :{

khaosanroad 15th May 2013 19:43

nice letter
 
5000 TT , turboprop captain non UK.

I've received the nice letter with the bad news too. I am wondering why so man of you speculate on a shortlisting based on experience. At this stage the applicants experience can't be processed automatically since it was not an input in the online application form. So far, this information can only be found in the CVs that we have uploaded and I really doubt that at this stage the recruitment team has been able to screen 3500 doc or pdf files to filter us. Anyway, I am sure that those who passed deserve it, I congratulate them and I wish them the best for the next assessments.
