EZY Milan Rostering
Hi, Im interested in the EZY Milan rostering. Is it similar to LGW where you work 5/3-5/4 earlies then lates? Are nightstops common?
Thank in advance for the heads up. |

Thank in advance for the heads up. outside the UK I believe it’s FRV roster rather that fixed pattern. |
Lots of 5/4 in Milan |
One year mandatory flexi roster in Italy, and then 5/4. |

DEC Type Rating Costs
Sorry if this is a repeat, but for DEC NTR, how much is the candidate required to pay and is it taken off before tax? Interested in UK based work. |
Does anyone know what the flight pay works out 'roughly' per year (net) for a DEC?
|
I would disagree that the TR costs are not reclaimable against tax. The TR is required to be able to do the job, therefore (IMHO) it’s a legitimate business expense and should be put through on your self assessment form, just like travel, subsistence, dry cleaning etc. Ryanair Pilots were successfully putting the £20,000 through in one tax year. This would be approx. £7,000 per year for three years. Still outrageous that DEC’s are required to stump up for this in any case! flight pay around £17,000 a year, so I’ve been told. |
Gents, At the moment it seems that they are recruiting ntr dec only for LIS. Any hope they will reopen for LGW? |
737, until experienced pilots STOP paying for typeratings, EZY will keep charging for them, it’s that simple. |
Can anyone comment on what to expect for the NTR DEC sim evaluation? I fly a 737NG so am thinking if I got as far as a sim evaluation it might be good to get familiarized with the A320 on my own dime. |
Can anyone provide information about the Portuguese bases please? Trying to find out some information on the rosters and how the staff travel works. Thanks |

Seems like EZY reopen recruitment for low timers this time interesting that they seem happy to fully fund cadet type ratings, but not experienced DEC! 🤔🤬 |
They want 10k “contribution” plus a bond most likely, so not properly fully funded. |

Seems like EZY reopen recruitment for low timers this time CAE recently re-opened easyJet recruitment to their cadets but were still asking for the cadets to self-fund the type rating.

Internal communication. The 10k part, the bond part is my guess. |
Got an email from CAE asking if I’d be interested in DEC positions with their client Easyjet. I replied including my details and received the following....Sorry but they only accept application form pilots operating as commercial passenger Captains so we can’t proceed. Sorry for the inconvenience. Regards. In other words experienced cargo pilots need not apply, never realised an ATPL for cargo aeroplanes differed from passenger???? |
blue and yellow does not have any problem to take cargo pilots ;)
|
Apply straight to easyJet, no need to go via CAE.
|
I joined as a DEC from the cargo world less than 2 years ago, as above.

Can you remember if at that time u applied there was the limitation of:
thanks |
Are you already on the payroll when u start the type rating training? |
Hello. I am considering applying for Easy Swiss as a FO NTR. I was wondering if you have to fund the rating yourself?? If so, it is then a no-go for me. Second question: if you are based in basel or geneva, how does youe roster look like? Random pattern or fixed pattern? grts |
What are the chances of BRS base as DEC? Very senior base? Will it take years to get there or could you get lucky?
|
If you join EZY UK with 2,501+ factored hours, do you still need to do 2 years with the company as an FO before being eligible for SFO status?
Cheers |

I would guess at slim to anorexic! Recent recruitment for LGW, LTN, Berlin and Portuguese bases. I imagine LHS places at BRS and most regional U.K. bases are like gold dust. In those bases, SFO’s are probably reluctant to go for upgrade due to being sent away to LGW and waiting ages to get back, hence the need for DEC. It seems DEC has almost stopped except for rated folks for Berlin bases. Even Portugal is not featured on the careers website as far as I can see, or are they using external agencies now? |

Seems Portugal is gone which is no big loss(for me). Was hoping that Berlin NTR would open but nothing yet(rumour says they are lacking DEC's there as not enough AB skippers are applying).
Seems Italian bases are full(always skipper) as well which would be interesting because of the italian CLA... Well, we will see. And how much RYR is increasing their "package" to keep up with pilot demand. Not sure if EZY is really the right "horse" to put your bet on after that not really clever move of leaving the EU(even they have the swiss and new austrian AOC).... |
Before talking about bases I would be more worried about passing the assessment. Only a very small % of DEC applicants are getting the offer, since most of the positions are filled with internal upgrades. Once you go for the interview it does not matter what you applied for, you will be asked 3 bases of preference, even out of the application base. |
Any folks been called recently with a TR course start date? |
Any recent DEC at LGW
How is life at easy? Much chance of part time? How many hours per year full time? Are you sent to fly from another base for your x5 day block often? Can you ever get any leave in the summer? Are the rosters stable or does the content of the block of work change much after publication? |
There is absolutely zero possibility of DEC positions at a regional base here in EZY - as 737 Jockey says, they are like gold dust and you have to wait your time for them (a very long time of many years in most cases). It is not true to say that the DECs have dried up and nor is it true that Air Berlin captains are not applying. Not all the Air Berlin or Monarch captains have been successful at interview or the sim assessment, but we have still taken a shed load of them (a couple of hundred or thereabouts). It is a happy arrangement all round - unemployed captains get jobs with a good company and easyJet gets top quality guys - win-win for everyone. Regarding non-rated DECs, we have taken a lot from Norwegian and Ryanair (could not tell you the exact number) and will continue to do so from what I hear. The limitation at the moment is training capacity. EasyJet are taking around 900 new pilots this year and that is a massive training burden. There is not an airline in the world that would not wince at that and easyJet is no exception. Nonetheless, it is happening and the vast majority of people are happy to be there. Regarding ShortfinalFred's questions, there is no one easy answer as it varies from base to base. I will try and cover the questions as best I can. In short, life for most pilots at easyJet is good, but it is hard work. Part-time is hard to come by, but not impossible. You can reckon on it taking 3 years from applying to getting it. You are virtually never sent out your base for a 5-day block, but there are temporary bases available for captains in LIS and OPO if you want them. You can get the odd night away, but rarely whole blocks. Trainers who have volunteered are getting a few months in MXP to run the new sim there. Leave in the summer is very controversial and extremely individual in terms of experience. Most people can get some but not everyone does. Roster stability varies from base to base, but July and August are prone to massive disruption - particularly in bases like LGW and LTN. The content of the block of work often changes after roster publication, but not so much at the smaller bases. However, once the roster is out, your days off are set in concrete and cannot be touched unless you volunteer to work them for extra money. Hope that helps. |
Just to add to the excellent Count’s post, in some of the contracts there is a guaranteed block of leave in Summer (from mid June to mid September). There is not such a thing as an easyJet unique contract, every country has its own set of rules, in terms of money, holiday, pension, ftl limitations, part time options and rosters. It’s almost like working for different companies, that’s why it’s not easy to answer to some of the questions here. |
Many Thanks....
....to The Count and to Dirk for those informative and helpful replies.
