easyJet SO/FO/SFO

Just seen easyJet is hiring NTR copilots and on their website they say that depending on your experience you'll either be ranked Second Officer, First Officer or Senior First Officer.

Anyone know how much experience they require for each rank? There's a pretty big salary difference between them.

For UK contracts:

SFO- >2500 factored hours and full ATPL

(0.8 x your total hours for short haul jet FO)
(0.9x your total hours for short jet CPT)

(0.6x your total hours for long haul FO)
(0.7 x total hours for long haul CPT)

(0.7 x your total hours for Airline turbine FO)
(0.8 x your total hours for airline turbine CPT)

FO- >1250 factored hours

Upgrade to FO after a minimum of 24 months operating as FO.

The above thread should cover most questions.

They really think a long haul Captain would apply as FO for EZY? Has it happened yet?

Italy is different, for new joiners you need 3000+ hours (after factoring) just for FO, SFO only possible after 2 years in company

Just easy Swiss, Palma, and Porto offered at the moment...
Each not very attractive for differing reasons.
I hear from a friend inside that there are shortages in the UK/EU.
Does anyone have an idea of when the site will open up to UK/French/German/Italian contract applicants?

Brexit uncertainty means there is a certain amount of unknown at the moment - I would anticipate a “deal” situation to largely return things to normal, however, a “no deal” could slow things down a for quite a few years.

Easyjet FO-CP upgrade time

Hello folks,

I’m considering applying to Easyjet next year and I’m planning on my base/contract choice.
Could anyone tell me the average FO - Captain upgrade time for each country-based contract please? Also, what are their experience minima to be eligible for the upgrade?
I’ve got around 2500h (SIC) on the A320, 4100h TT.

Thank you!

Renato

Easyjet operate a non seniority upgrade system. You already probably have the hours to start the process but you’d have to wait for at least 2 recurrent sims. (1 year).

After you start the minimum time is about 18 months. Things have slowed down quite a bit lately with Brexit and Monarch collapse so I’d reckon 5 to 6 years is not unheard of.

The time required to start a command course will be dictated on your base choice and where the company need commands. If you’re British then LGW would be the wisest choice for speedy progress. However, as mentioned above, easyJet appear to be growing now at the slowest possible rate as per the growth plan. Only about 12 airframes next year so commands have already reduced substantially, and hence a backlog has started to build up. Thus I would not assume to breeze through in times of recent historic norm.

Historically the shortest time to command has been around 24 months from date of joining to the upgrade course, but as said already, with the current growth that’s not going to happen for new joiners.

So yes, that can be possible, you have to be extremely pushy and learn a lot, after all there is not much training history to back anything up so you will be quizzed harder. And the required knowledge is already extremely high, not necessarily the handling skills as manual flight and especially manual thrust flight is actively discouraged on the line (not by training but rather by base management or base safety officers). However with the current slowdown expect three to four years to command, there are already several hundred in the pipeline waiting for their spot.
