Have they just closed the recruitment?
I checked 2 days ago and was still on...

All the positions are still open as far as I can see...

Sim check a320 or 737?
 

Hi. I Know a lot has been put up already, but grateful if someone can indicate what aircraft is currently being used, airbus or 737....I hear it's now done exclusively on the A320.

Hi all,

I'm trying to get an idea of net pay for Captain in OPO, I've been told varying amounts and the Portuguese tax calculator gives roughly 7k / month from 144,000 gross.

Is this accurate or can you expect a bit more?

Thanks

There was a thread about it no more than a few weeks ago, look it up, but from memory you can expect less than that, around 5500/6000 net. Not a good contract.

In Portugal you can expect 5600 after tax as a captain * 14 months. ~ 6500 after tax for 12 months. Excluding bonuses, shares, flexible benefits.

Thanks, seems very low, is this working from the increased pay? I'm reading 144 gross from the company website and up to 152 in 2021.

Cheers

Could anyone give a quick overview of the annual leave allocation process at EZY (UK Captains specifically)? Is it realistic to expect a block off in the summer/easter/half terms?

It's a points based system.

Each day is signed a set number of points, which is then multiplied depending on whether you bid for it, it's assigned or you take it in the open phase.

Then every year around November the bid opens for the following year, where you are in the priority depends on the points you have.
For normal captains, summer, Christmas and half terms etc are high points (busy periods for the company).

So, the theory is you will get summer/christmas etc every other year.

But it depends heavily on how you bid. It's quite a good fair system that a lot of people don't like.

However, if you want school holiday leave the best bet is to take parental leave!

Hello everyone, just curious about FO ntr for Palma de Maiorca base advertisement...any info about it? could be interesting

thanks

Hi
Can anyone describe the interview process

Starting from online test for DEC

All NTR and TR First Officers positions are now closed and there is only one position open named "Monarch Co-Pilots". Having such a big pool of TR guys available it may delay start dates for NTR guys I guess... Especially those looking for UK bases

Does anyone know long approximately it would take to get a French base? I'd ideally like to join as SFO with 8000 hours TT.

If that were to happen, how long roughly for a command and then again getting a French base?

Thank you for any help.

Regards

People have joined straight to France in recent years, it totally depends on the needs of the moment, new bases openings, etc.

For the upgrade, the process itself is very long, and you can start it after 6 months in the company. Plan on at least 1,5/2 years after date of joining to the end of command course line training, and that's in ideal conditions.

For France after upgrade, again, it depends on the moment. Last year some positions were available in FR for newly upgraded Captains, but be ready to move to LGW or LTN initially and join a transfer list, if you desperately want the left seat.

SFO unlikely as I know of one pilot with 7000 hours, of which 2500 were A320 command was only offered a second officer contract.

In france you get a SFO contract if you have more than 3000 hours factorized and EASA ATPL. There is no room for negotiation, they cant offer what they want. It's a contractual clause.

I am not familiar with the uk contract.

What people have to realize is that easyJet contracts across Europe are very different in terms of money, roster, pension, part time options, base freeze, taxes, etc.
It's almost like working for different companies.

If you're paying Portuguese tax you can reckon on €75-80k net in year 1. Tax rates depend on whether you're single or married and if you have kids or not.

Those numbers don't include the annual performance bonus (maximum 20% basic salary for captains), obviously you can't plan on the full amount of that every year.

There's talk of the government decreasing tax for higher earners by 3% next year which would be a nice extra 3-4K take home.

After 5 years in the company with the loyalty bonus and pay increases you can expect €85-93k net per year.

Hi,

Any news on EasyJet ntr FO Recruitment ?
Are still interviews taking place?

They have just re-opened the recruitment for easyJet Switzerland, type rated and not.
I don't expect big numbers, as far as I know there is already a decent number of people in the holding pool waiting to be called for the next summer season, plus all the Monarch guys, and now Air Berlin, for which assessments are being already scheduled.

Thanks a lot for info....by holding pool You mean people scheduled for Assesment or just after waiting to start training?
