Non type rated easyjet recruitment?

I'm a bit confused
I'm a bit confused - I've followed the link which eventually ends up at an Easyjet pilot careers page which seems to list 4 methods of entry on the bottom right:
CTC Flexi CTC Aviation OATS Parc The first three are mentored pilot schemes, the Parc link goes to Parc aviation website where the only Easyjet vacancy I can see requires 500hrs on type. Am I missing something? Just like to say I hope it's true and that they are now going to start hiring experienced F/O's again. |

Certainly an interesting opportunity, it seems to be an SSP DEP.
Does anyone know pay scales and how much do they charge for a rating? |
Here is the link. Just change display to '100 jobs' and scroll down and you will see it.

Willing to self sponsor TR..... Haha good one.
So what exactly does BALPA do for EZY? |
Think pay will be in the 20's from what I hear.
|
It will be existing FO / SFO pay but on a 75% / 90% / 100 % basis depending on what you get.

So what exactly does BALPA do for EZY? It's not as if EZY will have a problem filling courses using an SSR scheme. In fact it will be massively oversubscribed, so why would they offer anything else? |
The question that I have about all this is: what exactly does this B-scale pasy deal amount to?
I've googled around and been looking into it and all I could see what a few BALPA references to it, and that the FOs will only have £1000 to live on after loan repayments? Would anybody out there be able to refer me to the actual information? Obviously, a lot depends on the contract on offer - and to take a pay cut from where I am now, to go to a base that isn't where I currently am, is a bit of a significant downside and would force the hand on any issue at all. If the pay was in the 20s, then it would be a no-goer. |
Besides the whole pay issue the main question that comes to mind is this. Why are Easyjet asking for people with 1500+ hours when in the past it's been a lot less, circa 200 hours etc?

I posted this above, here you go again.
It will be existing FO / SFO pay but on a 75% / 90% / 100 % basis depending on what you get. If you don't get the "higher level" which is biddable, you would be on a 75% contract. Pension, 10% perf bonus after 2 years etc etc. |
Very many thanks Ecam - I must apologise but I didn't actually see your post when I read through the thread (blame a rather large curry and a couple of beers!).
|
I remember the days of TRSS.
That was a good and fair scheme. Great news for the business |
If true, this could be a sign that not enough type rated guys are signing up to FlexiCrew so what other way to ensure a continous stream of pilots ready to snap up zero hour contracts? By finally offering the most marginalised group of pilots in the industry the opportunity. The irony of it all.....
