Binder - this is not really the place to discuss internal industrial matters at easyJet. May I suggest you use the private forum where you can rant until the cows come home.

AdM,

The strike here is in the public domain; I'm sorry you can't handle that.

I note your comment but the fact is I don't rant.

Here in France the cows have come home. Their milk at this time of year is used to make a very nice cheese called Vacherin Mont d'Or.

I can recommend it with some Hauts Cotes de Nuits.

You should try it, really.

justagiglio77 - Ah, back in our midst again I see. Given that we are talking about France, I am reminded of the timeless words of the famous French football player, Eric Cantona. He said, 'When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea'. Is it not a remarkable coincidence that you and he have something in common? When he uttered those words, people sat aghast as they were completely irrelevant to the conversation in hand and utterly incomprehensible.

Binder - that French wine you are drinking may be a little past its sell-by date, but thank you for your kind advice.

And Mr. Meerkat, I am reminded of a great bird, The Ostrich, which when convenient to him, buries his head in the sand. Good luck!

The trouble with your logic on accepting a flexi SFO contract is that you'll never get a command. You have to be employed by easy to get on the command list.
The company are in the driving seat here. They won't pay a cent more than they have to but if they run out of crew they'll just up the offer. They're not trying to placate Balpa either as the deal with them only concerned cadets/flexi.

This is probably worth me following up with easyJet rather than pprune but, since there's a few of us here, if recruitment was to start up again at the same time next year as it did this year then at what point is our 12 months from date of assessment still valid? Is it if we receive an offer within the 12 months or a date of joining within the 12 months? Worth knowing because it very definitely affects our chances of staying afloat in this pool.

It is unfair that some guys like jimmybond are offered flexi crew contract while others are offered permanent one in LGW,Berlin,MXP or Paris.
It is even more unfair for experience pilots like jimmybond as it will have consequences on time to command (6 months after permanent employment to start the process), (if you are permanent from day one, you'll be able to start the process much earlier than if you are flexi).
And it is outrageous that permanent employment are offered to external candidates before current flexi pilots.

It is a great company for many reasons as mention previously. But something needs to be done regarding contracts and employment in order to bring fairness and transparency.
Treating your children differently won't keep your family happy!

If you think what's on offer is better than staying at FlyBe or staying in the ME or whatever then take it. If not then don't. Try not to get emotional about the whole thing. The boot is, at this particular time, well and truly on Easy's foot.

Heard that EZY swiss will start recruitment very soon.:rolleyes:

non type rated assessment
 

anyone got any feedback on what the assessment at Luton involved last year. Pretty tricky finding any sort of feedback. thanks:mad:

Bumping this old topic. Anyone invited for the online assessment last week? I did. Only need to finish the numerical test and then awaiting the response.

Edit: completed all the tests and unfortunately immediately received an e-mail with an rejection, despite I thought it went okay (besides the stupid verbal reasoning).

For who is interested: I have got a licence for practicing numerical and verbal reasoning tests which are used in the online assessment. The licence is valid till November this year. You may have it for 40 euro. Paypal payment is possible.

Sorry to read you Xander, I finished the assessments a few days back, I think they're the same they used to be...
Is someone waiting for the next step too ?

Guys,

What positions are you applying for when doing these online tests? DEC or DEFO? Did you already pass stages 1 & 2 prior to doing these?

Thanks!

Same question- has there been a NTR FO chance advertised since summer 2013 other than in Portugal?

Xander , sugest your verbal reasoning online job prep was insufficient or aligned to a different skills set/ perspective, as seems unfortunatly to have got you the PFO letter?

€40 ? Lol Try € 400 there are some real gullable types on this forum .

Anyone been recruited and done a CCQ to A320 ? Should be cheaper than the £20000 full rating guys seem happy to stum up for, right ?

Does anyone know if there would be a base freeze at gatwick for non-tr decs?? If so, how long for?

Hi, Sorry for late answer,
Applying for NTR FO in Portugal, not much activity here though, other folks waiting for a call from Easy ?

I passed the online tests last month. I am invited for an interview day in Luton. Does anyone have any news on the simulator ride for NTR FO?

any idea for the hotel?

I heard the base freeze at Gatwick is 5yrs. It will take you another 2-3 years to get to another UK base.
Does anyone know if EZY are asking for cash up front for full type rating or are they just bonding for NTR DEC?
