Murtoman, can I ask you how long you waited from successful assessment to being offered a start date/date of employment?

Not too long, couple of months maybe. Though must be said that I passed on the first date they offered for various reasons and the next one was about 4 months later.

Hi Guys and Girls,

Is there an average time that you can expect to be in the ‘talent pool’? If you’re getting close to the 12 month mark are they likely to do what BA do and kick you out and make you reapply from the beginning? They are continually recruiting however I know they have a huge training burden.

Cheers!

Hi guys, are there any EasyJet pilots who can confirm if NTR pilots joining have to pay for their own TR or is it a 3 year service bond for example. Im actually enquiring for a friend who is not a ppruner as he would be interested in joining EasyJet but not paying for a 30K TR as 1, he cannot afford it, 2 Probably would not be able to get the loan and 3 Just not prepared to pay to work even if he could get a loan.

Any help would be much appreciated

QR77X iS that DEC or FO ? Last i heard ALL F/O recruitment was on a 75% contract only ?

Why is EasyJet advertising for self sponsored NTR pilots to join and be based in Portugal when they supposedly dont make you pay for a TR out of Portugal. I believe they do in other bases, so what changed?

Has anyone done the Easyjet on-line assessment for NTR FOs? I'm specifically looking at the application for "current Flying Instructors" but I'm guessing that it is fairly standard. Any info, particularly on the nature of :

easyJet Co-Pilot Situational Questionnaire
Complex Control
Spatial Orientation
Multi-tasking Capability (avi)

would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You can’t use the Private Messaging system, add url links or images until you have an established posting history.

I subscribed to the easyjet tests on www.latestpilotjobs.com and they were almost identical... I would definitely recommend it!

Good luck!

Fantastic, thanks!

How long does it normally take Easyjet to get back to you once you are thru the online assessment bit and have been told you successfully completed that part?

I did the assessment for Portugal first officer about 10 days ago and was wondering if others did and have heard anything. I am an experienced pilot with over 5200 hours and 2 jet type ratings under my belt but applying for A320 NTR.

Could others who have recently got jobs and those waiting shed any light on the process and what to expect going forward.

Thanks

Hello Altair,

Sorry could you explain a bit further what is this STAR discussion about, what they want to see from you?
Thanks!

I did mine 3 weeks ago and I am as well waiting. Be patient :-)

Can anyone shed light on how long it takes from you get the message you are in the pool until you are offered a start date at the moment?

As an SFO you would probably be averaging 4.000€ net a month (times 14 payments as you get double pay twice). Plus the yearly bonus which would probably be in the region of another 4.000€ net this year.

The roster is FRV by default, with some 5on/4off roster availability for CPTs and SFOs - granted based on seniority of those applying. I believe there is some kind of pay cut involved on moving from FRV to 54 rosters.

Cheers.

Two days from assessment to the email that I was in the pool and then another seven days before I was offered a base and a start date one month later.

cheers

Would you put some context to this- when did you pass and are you a DEC rated or non rated?!

Fall 2018 as a NTR FO.

Cheers

Recruitment
 

Quick question for the German based pilots; has the FO (or SFO) salary been lowered? I seem to recall (could be bad memory though..) it was around 72k gross (FO)... on the ezy career site I now see 61k gross? Or is it a 6 month temporary thing? Cheers!

FO is 54818 basic plus shift allowance, sector pay etc
SFO is 72794 plus all of the above

is anyone in the hold pool waiting for a start date for a Berlin base? i was successful with the assessments in August 2018 and called the recruitment team twice, was given an estimate of summer 2019

Assessment
 

PatelV6, may I ask what the assessment was like, specifically the sim...how tough was it and what was involved?

Also the HR face to face and is there a technical question session written or oral?

Goord afternoon guys and gals,

Anyone in the run for a DEFO in LIS? I had the thumbs up for the online test few weeks ago, could not make it to the tech-interview this month so I am waiting for the Dec's dates to become available.
Meanwhile I am after some information Re. the interview process itself. I understand that if held in LTN it might wrap together the Q&A with the SIM session while other venues i.e. LIS would imply that the SIM is left for a later date, is that correct?
Anyone with some tips, feedback, notes from previous and recent experience willing to share?
Also: do they have a factored-hours scheme still in place? I did some Google-search but what has come up seems outdated so any fresh details are very welcome.
Last but not least: the figures that can be found on PPJN Re. the different contracts (i.e. UK vs. ITA vs. PT vs...) are they reliable?

Thanks in advance

DK :cool:

Anybody care to share their experience with regards to the sim check for CA and DEFO and what is involved?
Which sim centre do they use in LGW?

They are advertising left right and center for rated and non-rated crew so my guess is that training program is set and slots filled for this winter and that's why you guys are not getting course starts. That's my best guess after adding up some information from friends who work for easyjet.

Anybody care to answer a couple of questions?

1. What is involved with regards to the sim assessment and if interviewing in Gatwick where do they do it?

2. Where do they do the type rating for DEFO and CA after offered a position with EasyJet?
