I think they still have to pay upfront, unless it has changed very recently.

Assessments in April for TXL? That's mighty strange, as I was already told mid January by EZY recruitment before the start of the assessment during presentation that the base that I had applied for Berlin, was no longer available and neither were UK bases and Swiss contract. The only base, EZY recruitment told us, that was still available for DEC at that time was Portugal, can't remember if it was just OPO or also LIS. At the same time the recruitment website was changed and Berlin, UK and Swiss contract removed from DEC list, and only still open to apply for DEC Portugal base. They checked willingness for Portugal base on individual basis and I kindly declined at the time, and got put in the Talent Hold Pool as a result, due no more vacancies in Berlin.

Update from the Talent Pool received last week and again, only OPO available from beginning of 2020 and 1 week to decide... ANY info on OPO base would be highly appreciated.
1) Approximate salary after tax for a DEC with family
2) If it is possible to receive Non-Habitual Resident status as an easyJet Captain under the Portuguese tax laws, coming form outside EU (more than 10 years)
3) Living in Porto, as it seems to be a beautiful historic city
4) And why it is so unpopular that EZY can't seem to crew it, even after the revised salary package.....

Thanks in advance!

Interesting statement LHS320, as they haven't been able to properly crew this base since it was first announced, well before the Brexit vote. Even then the Brits and other nationalities didn't seem to be interested. I wonder what is going to happen with all the Brits stationed in mainland Europe and all the other European nationalities remaining in the UK in case of a no-deal Brexit.

From the information I managed to gather it looks like the main reason is the very high taxation and Net salary after Tax, as the salary before tax is not that bad. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any information from OPO and LIS based Captains is highly appreciated, as I'm enthusiastic about living in Porto but I need more information regarding the approximate salary after Tax. Is 7500 EURO a/month after Tax and Social Contributions achievable for a married Captain, with 2 school going children?

Regards.

I was invited to the selection process.
Anyone can tell me the net salary per month? PORTO, Non rated FO, married and 1 kid.

Thanks

No. I've just completed the online assessment for NON RATED FO and invited to attend easyJet assessment.

Is there anyone out of the talent pool for DECs that got further infos regarding the OPO course?

Hello !

I would like to know the details about the type rating in CAE Gatwick.
What about hotel and food? Where and which is the hotel?
I know that the salary is the basic only, but I heard that if you are based out of London, you have some overnight allowance. Is it still in force?

Does easy provide transportation to go there?

Thanks

As far as I am aware it's at yourself who sorts out and pays

No

if you are contracted by easyJet from day one of type rating then yes you will get nightstop allowance outside of your base

Thank you THEAIRMISSION,

About the hotel : When I did the assment I remember that the airline briefing included an overview on the type rating conditions : basic salary and hotel. But it could have change now.
However I wanted to know if the hotel chosen by easyjet would be next to CAE building.

I will be under contract with easyjet during the TR, so I guess transport to gatwick is included.
Concerning the night stop allowance, I remember that it was mentioned during the assesment briefing. But on my contract, that is written that the nightstop allowance is not concerning the initial training....

So I dont know...
