Have they just closed the recruitment?
I checked 2 days ago and was still on...

LGET 10th Sep 2017 11:15

All the positions are still open as far as I can see...

elvisvegas 18th Sep 2017 21:05

Sim check a320 or 737?
 
Hi. I Know a lot has been put up already, but grateful if someone can indicate what aircraft is currently being used, airbus or 737....I hear it's now done exclusively on the A320.

Hi all,

I'm trying to get an idea of net pay for Captain in OPO, I've been told varying amounts and the Portuguese tax calculator gives roughly 7k / month from 144,000 gross.

Is this accurate or can you expect a bit more?

Thanks

dirk85 23rd Sep 2017 20:45

There was a thread about it no more than a few weeks ago, look it up, but from memory you can expect less than that, around 5500/6000 net. Not a good contract.

lear999wa 24th Sep 2017 05:05

In Portugal you can expect 5600 after tax as a captain * 14 months. ~ 6500 after tax for 12 months. Excluding bonuses, shares, flexible benefits.

Sallytraffic 24th Sep 2017 07:00

Thanks, seems very low, is this working from the increased pay? I'm reading 144 gross from the company website and up to 152 in 2021.

Cheers

Could anyone give a quick overview of the annual leave allocation process at EZY (UK Captains specifically)? Is it realistic to expect a block off in the summer/easter/half terms?

FunFlyin 28th Sep 2017 08:21

It's a points based system.

Each day is signed a set number of points, which is then multiplied depending on whether you bid for it, it's assigned or you take it in the open phase.

Then every year around November the bid opens for the following year, where you are in the priority depends on the points you have.
For normal captains, summer, Christmas and half terms etc are high points (busy periods for the company).

So, the theory is you will get summer/christmas etc every other year.

But it depends heavily on how you bid. It's quite a good fair system that a lot of people don't like.

However, if you want school holiday leave the best bet is to take parental leave!

Hello everyone, just curious about FO ntr for Palma de Maiorca base advertisement...any info about it? could be interesting

thanks

ulisse 6th Oct 2017 17:31

Hi
Can anyone describe the interview process

Starting from online test for DEC

LGET 9th Oct 2017 07:34

All NTR and TR First Officers positions are now closed and there is only one position open named "Monarch Co-Pilots". Having such a big pool of TR guys available it may delay start dates for NTR guys I guess... Especially those looking for UK bases

Luckyheader 9th Oct 2017 10:18

Does anyone know long approximately it would take to get a French base? I'd ideally like to join as SFO with 8000 hours TT.

If that were to happen, how long roughly for a command and then again getting a French base?

Thank you for any help.

Regards

dirk85 9th Oct 2017 12:33

People have joined straight to France in recent years, it totally depends on the needs of the moment, new bases openings, etc.

For the upgrade, the process itself is very long, and you can start it after 6 months in the company. Plan on at least 1,5/2 years after date of joining to the end of command course line training, and that's in ideal conditions.

For France after upgrade, again, it depends on the moment. Last year some positions were available in FR for newly upgraded Captains, but be ready to move to LGW or LTN initially and join a transfer list, if you desperately want the left seat.

rivalino 9th Oct 2017 18:16

Lucky header
SFO unlikely as I know of one pilot with 7000 hours, of which 2500 were A320 command was only offered a second officer contract.

dirk85 9th Oct 2017 19:21

In france you get a SFO contract if you have more than 3000 hours factorized and EASA ATPL. There is no room for negotiation, they cant offer what they want. It's a contractual clause.

I am not familiar with the uk contract.

What people have to realize is that easyJet contracts across Europe are very different in terms of money, roster, pension, part time options, base freeze, taxes, etc.
It's almost like working for different companies.

If you're paying Portuguese tax you can reckon on €75-80k net in year 1. Tax rates depend on whether you're single or married and if you have kids or not.

Those numbers don't include the annual performance bonus (maximum 20% basic salary for captains), obviously you can't plan on the full amount of that every year.

There's talk of the government decreasing tax for higher earners by 3% next year which would be a nice extra 3-4K take home.

After 5 years in the company with the loyalty bonus and pay increases you can expect €85-93k net per year.

Ezy12221 29th Oct 2017 04:46

Hi,

Any news on EasyJet ntr FO Recruitment ?
Are still interviews taking place?

dirk85 30th Oct 2017 13:01

They have just re-opened the recruitment for easyJet Switzerland, type rated and not.
I don't expect big numbers, as far as I know there is already a decent number of people in the holding pool waiting to be called for the next summer season, plus all the Monarch guys, and now Air Berlin, for which assessments are being already scheduled.

Ezy12221 31st Oct 2017 22:32

Thanks a lot for info....by holding pool You mean people scheduled for Assesment or just after waiting to start training?

VJW 1st Nov 2017 06:49

Holding or in Easyjet’s case Talent Pool is where you ‘go’ once you’ve passed their recruitment process and you’re waiting to be offered a start date.

eiffel 2nd Nov 2017 15:48

Do Easyjet give an reply, whether positive or negative, after the online assessment?... (Apart from: "You have successfully completed the online assessment...")
Two months, and stil nothing....

dirk85 2nd Nov 2017 18:06

Yes they do, in my experience. You can still check on the website to confirm your application status...

phenix007 7th Nov 2017 12:05

Hi ,

I was wondering if any of you in the pool, had received a start date as experience NTR F/O base in Gatwick or Luton for the TR course.

I would be grateful if you know what is their intentions. "like how many NTR F/O do they need and when?

Thanks to all of you:ok:

dirk85 7th Nov 2017 12:24

The situation right now is very dynamic, between Air Berlin and Monarch.

Before all this happened the needs were for about 450 pilots, same as last year. To give you an idea last roughly 300 were cadets, 100 direct entry F/O and thr rest DEC.
Now it's everybody's guess, with so many rated and experienced pilots on the market.

Ezy12221 7th Nov 2017 14:15

Talent pool
 
Phenix007, when did You have Your Assesment and how long You've waited for feedback?

phenix007 8th Nov 2017 08:37

I have done my assessment 6 months ago and got the positive feedback to be in the pool 4months later.
I have no clue about their intentions( due to Monarch and Air berlin) , even worst I can not apply to EZY switzerland because I am in the pool.
Someone wrote somewhere on Pprune, Ezy switzerland are looking for 40 pilots ( true or not I don't know) but if it is the case why they don't offer us this possibility mostly if Gatwick and LUTON are full house.

dirk85 8th Nov 2017 09:51

The selection process is separate between the two AOC, with a tech part in the swiss one.
I have heard of people being offered Switzerland but it was unconfirmed and I don't know it it went through...

LGET 8th Nov 2017 13:40

Hi all,
I received the offer today as NTR FO. I will start the type at the end of January.
My base will be Venice which was my 3rd choice and I am very happy with it.
I suggest you hang tough and eventually they will contact you.
Best of luck

Lancelot747 10th Nov 2017 10:32

Hey LGET,

Could I ask you when you did your screening, and if you had applied as Direct Entry FO with another Airbus TR ?

LGET 11th Nov 2017 09:42

Hi Lancelot,
I applied as NTR DEFO, no previous experience on the Bus. My screening was at the end of June

Lancelot747 12th Nov 2017 18:17

Hey LGET,

Thanks for the info. From what I have heard and read so far, it seems they are filling the Italian bases first, a guy I screened with back in January got called for a December start in Italy, already type-rated tho. I requested UK bases, nothing on my side so far. I'm Airbus rated but not on the 320 anymore so I'd be due for a CCQ first. Looks like it's all about bases and training capacity. Anyone else who screened early this year ? I'd be curious to hear about their situation.

CEDRICO 13th Nov 2017 07:33

Rules of the pool
 
Hi everybody,

My question deals with the rules of the Talent Pool.
Does my starting date depend on the bases I chose (eg I ask for an unpopular base to start quickly) or does my starting date only depend on the date I entered the Talent Pool (strictly a seniority list) or both?
Thanks to those who can shed some light on that!

dirk85 13th Nov 2017 10:39

There are no written rules, but it is believed it mostly depends on which base you have given your preference, and how well you performed in the assessment.

VJW 13th Nov 2017 10:59

I can’t believe the last sentance. How well you performed at assessment is the difference between passing and not.

I’m waiting for a call for DEC NTR LGW. Everyone who has been offered something so far passed before I did. I’d be amazed, and making a call if it turns out someone who passed after me gets a call before I do. That’s not how holding pools work..

My logic would be this. There is one large hold pool. Inside that it’s divided into 4, Captain rated or not, FO rated or not. You are then picked out in order of date you entered the pool based on their demands for training courses available and where they need to base you. Very simple. Again how well you did at assessment implies the best get picked first and if they’re desperate they’ll offer something to the ones who scraped through. I think they set their own recruitment standards much higher than that.

dirk85 13th Nov 2017 13:27

I stopped looking for fairness and logic in airline recruitment long time ago.
The base allocation and start dates in easyJet do not seem to follow specific rules.
Or I am not smart enough to understand them, one of the two.

I was very short in the pool, and I was called before people that had been there longer than me, and there have been people joining the pool after me, and being called out before.
People were offered bases that one week before were not available, and when guys asked to swap base with assessment buddies because interested in each other base were said no, with no explanation.

I have some memories about one of the assessors saying that the performance of the applicant had an effect on how quickly one would have been called, but no evidence to support that is actually what happens.

One can only sit, wait and hope to get something vaguely close to his preference.

Do not be afraid to say no if you do not like the base on offer, but keep in mind you can stay in the pool max one year.
I know several guys that refused the first base they offered them and that have been offered months later what they wanted. It almost looked like a poker game to me.

The situation now might be different with all the Monarch and Air Berlin guys obviously.

Lancelot747 13th Nov 2017 17:05

VJW,

agreed, that would make perfect sense. When was your interview ? Mine was in January, got the bases offers around June and still waiting. They're super friendly on the phone but won't say much regarding an estimated start date.

VJW 13th Nov 2017 23:48

Nope- just a case of waiting your turn. I passed a few months ago- but I’m a Captain and think we’re not waiting quite as long as FO’s for a call.

Who knows though..

Fred_fr 21st Nov 2017 09:18

What are the differences between easyjet uk and easyjet switzerland in term of contract and conditions ?

If you apply with one can you submit a new application with the other

Thank you in advance

dirk85 21st Nov 2017 11:22

You can have only one active application at a time.

What people don't seem to understand is that the contract changes, big time, in money, conditions, roster, part time, pension, in EVERYTHING, from one country to another.
It is like working for different companies.

Just money wise we are talking of THOUSANDS of euros of difference per month from one place to another.

Easyjet Uk is the AOC under which at the moment all the bases out of Switzerland operate. That does not mean that the work contract is the same. Germany, Italy, France, UK, Spain and Portugal have different contract for crews. Even FTL slightly change.

Easy Swiss is the AOC under which all the swiss registered planes based out of Basel and Geneva operate.
Being applicable only to one country there is only one work contract applicable.
