Its not a bond. Its a loan from the company - you pay £22k either way, whether it's up front, or spread over three years, it makes little difference. I thought FOs did get access to it, but if you don't, you're not missing out on much. (It's way worse than the Norwegian 787 bond, which ironically gets much more bad comments).
Actually there is a bond - £10,000 .... on TOP of the £22,000!! |
Have any NTR FOs received start dates recently? |

A captain who's been in the company 5 years, paying full local Portuguese tax (assuming wife not working and 1 or 2 kids) can expect a net annual take home of €90,000. That's not including the performance bonus (up to 20% basic salary gross). If you've got any questions count, feel free to PM me. Needless to say, it's one hell of a lot better than it used to be. |

You can trust us on this, because a lot of us have researched jobs abroad and with the exception of China, any airline that offers more pay is usually in a country where it’s very expensive to live or there’s a big catch. |
To give some perspective, you’d do well to net £75k in the U.K. That’s full time with 10% loyalty. When you compare the cost of living U.K. vs Portugal and quality of life, I’d say the Portuguese contract is far better than is given credit for. I’ve just spent 6 months in Porto and what a fantastic place it is. I will miss it for sure. Just a different vibe than Luton... |
Could anyone give a heads up in the recruitment process please.
I have an online test to do first Thanks. |

Netting 90k in Portugal....you’ll live extremely well in the country or downtown of the capital city. Better than a Jetblue pilot would live in downtown Manhattan. Plus it’s a beautiful, warm country. I’ve never worked for easyJet, and I have nothing to do with Portugal so I don’t feel like I’m being biased.

i dont disagree, I will post a fact. If you take all the airplanes in the world, outside of the USA, then double that number, you still wouldn’t equal the number of N registered aircraft. The US doesn’t have a higher pay, it is the standard pay. European carriers just pay below what is standard. The US pilot market is more cyclical and extreme both ways, you can have crazy money one year, and being furloughed the year after. |
Evening all,
I sat the online aptitude tests 6 weeks ago and not heard anything back. I hope its not because I've choked early on. Anyone else in a similar boat or able to shed some information on rough timelines for the recruitment process (NTR FO)? FH |

Of course we have the advantage that from a really young age (20 years old sometimes) you can start on better money on bigger jets compared to your regionals. |

Check your “My Applications” section on the easy site, if like me it says successful application, then expect to hear about assessments in November. I emailed them as I’m expecting to hear from another airline shorthly. I’m the same as you, NTR FO. However my TUI assessment is in a week and I have just sent Ryanair my CV (no idea how quick they are) so Nov might be too late. |
I know at least six peeps in my company all in same position. |

Hi, anyone that has an idea of the present wait time for a NTR FO (Berlin base) from successful assessment to start date for TR?
