Hey guys
Any general information about EZS? Especially for Basel base
Does the assessment takes place in Swizerland or in UK?

Hey guys,

I am also in the pool since Sept 2019 (NTR FO). Anybody has any info on the next type rating courses or recruitment needs in 2020?

No planned DEC recruitment for the UK in 2020 and all planned UK fo recruitment for 2020 is covered by flight school allocations. Of course in this game things can change very quickly, the emphasis being on the word "planned".

Ive been in the hold pool since July 2019. I have just received a message from EasyJet that the hiring requirements have been filled for 2020 and I'm in the pool until October 2020 .

I turned down their first base option, biggest mistake ever. Live and Learn I guess!!

Is anyone from Easyjet able to say how much annual leave captains get and what sort of part-time options are available. thanks

Leave is around 25/27 days for a full timer, depending on the country you are based.
Also part time options available and how to get them change considerably depending on where you are based.
There are a few 50% and 75% part time options, some of which require quite some seniority.
No DEC recruitment expected this financial year and no growth expected next year, for the record.

Out of curiosity what was the first base option that they offered you?

London Southend

Should’ve taken it.

Fairly easy/quick for FOs to get base transfers. Just get your foot in the door and make it work until then is my advice. I couldn’t be happier as a Capt who came
from Ryr

Got an email that all courses for 2020 are booked, to be patient in the holding pool for 2021. And that's for TR'ed guy, I'm guessing they have even less need for non-TR pilots.

Is Easyjet paying for the TR for Non type rated pilots again or do you still pay yourself? I heard they were going back to paying for it and wondering if that program has started again. Im an experienced pilot, plenty of jet, just no TR.

I got that email as well. I'm not TR.

I got the same email also! The wait continues

Thank you👍

Can anyone share some light on the Simulator Screening? Is the focus more on the CRM part or raw data flying skills e.g Holding pattern entry and standard ils stuff? Any Information is highly appreciated!

Is there still assessments going on even if dozens of pilots in the pool??

No CRM as each FO-applicant is in the SIM alone with the instructor/assessor in the left seat. You depart, fly, intercept, enter and leave before raw ils. Straight fwd. And if one of them goes wrong then an demo on how to is done before you get a new try - here key is show that you can learn.

For DEC normally a skilled easyJet FO will be in right seat. But I have heard it was also done in other ways. Depends a lot on weather you are TR or Non-TR - as far I can put the pieces together. For me it was with an easy-FO.

Reading this thread with utmost interest. Sounds for me as easyjet has current job postings/vacancies? I absolutely cannot find anything alike. Maybe one of you guys can helpt me out :/

Thanks so much, that helped a lot!

30 on the 100% 5453 pattern in Germany.
