Forget MXP, the waiting list is very long.

The only lists that do not have people waiting to go are

AMS,LIS,OPO,BCN

There may also be opportunities for NAP and VCE and the new PMI base next year(66% of the BCN contract)

Does anyone know if non type rated DEC's are required to pay for the type rating or is it just bonded? So i do not waste my time with an application.

thanks

It depends how many of you accept to pay for the type rating! If no one accepts paying for it, then easyjet will have to fund it

As a matter of interest, does anybody know how much the tr costs, and are you paid during this training?
By the way, non tr co-pilots are required to pay for tr.
Thanks

I know that cadets pay 38K for the type rating, I met a few recently.

Im looking for info on the selection process for non type rated dec captains and suggestions on how to prep?

To my understanding there will be a group exercise and a non technical interview. anything else i can expect?

You will never get MXP. The base is overcrewed after the rome closure and the waiting list is long. The fact that MXP was even mentioned in the job opening has caused sufficient grumblings to have it adresed by the union. IMHO contract wise LGW or SXF are the best bases available to DEC at the moment.

Is there availability at the NAP base? how does the contract stack up?

Standard italian contract with random roster, as far as I know, but I stand to be corrected.

Excellent money, very difficult commuting. Naples not a city for everyone in terms of day to day life.

Has anyone heard anything yet or know how long it normally takes to hear back from initial application? I applied a month ago, just wondering how long it might take to hear something as I keep seeing LGW NTR Captains jobs being advertised.

more correct phraseology would be :

Fair enough

Can someone please shed some light on the the DEC rated PMI contract please. I appreciate it's a new base and all, but monthly take home figures and potential roster pattern would be well received

Rgds,

PMI is a seasonal base, 4 months unpaid leave in winter.
Random rostering, 11 days off a month, of which 2 are bookable. OFF days come in blocks of 2 or3, sometimes single days OFF.
Expect 90 to 100+ hrs/ month for about 7000€ take home (8months). Almost no pay when sick.
Full EASA duty limits.
Base freeze, with no guarantee for transfer afterwards.

And the 4 months "unpaid" means that you are unemployed, so you won´t be paying any social security (no pension or medical cover). On top of that, EZY is not obligued to hire you back the next summer period, so if they don´t like you for whatever reason They will simply offer the job to another pilot.

Overall, a very poor deal IMHO.

Incorrect. As poor as some may view the offer, it is a permanent contract. It is not a series of 8 month contracts, rather a permanent one with 4 months unpaid leave each winter.

Thanks for the reply folks, wouldn't even apply if this is the :mad: on offer

Sounds like some offer for some Ex EK or QR guys who made enough money in the sandpit(nowadays hard to achieve) or better some guy after a good chinese contract to just do the last few years in a relaxed way. 4 month off is not that bad if you don't need the money...

Are you sure that there will be no social security contributions in the winter?

Could it be 66.6% of fixed salary paid all year, effectively 4 months unpaid leave but paying into the social security throughout the whole year. Variable parts of the salary only paid for the 8 months working.

This is an important point, as removing four months each year form your state pension contributions can make a huge difference over a few years.

This point in my opinion is a game changer.

Is there private health insurance, loss of license, will parking be paid for etc.

I am sure EZY are looking for people who want to return home (or close to home) but the price for that privilege might be too high for most.
