Easyjet New Recruitment Campaign

And also the contract is dependent on passing the type rating. I've heard of people getting "released" for not hitting the grade during type rating.

Like every company in the world, rightfully so

I was willing to know if a transfer from Easyjet UK (any UK base) was still possible to Easyjet Europe, and preferably, Easyjet Switzerland ? Living close to GVA base, it would be the best option for me but for the time being, no recruitment is expected for Easyjet Switzerland. Hence my question.

many thx in advance.

If you have the right to live and work in EU and an EASA license, you can transfer without problems, especially as an FO. Same in Switzerland.

Not sure which would be the best between Spanish and Portuguese seasonal contracts, it is very hard to find current info...

Spanish and Portugal seasonal contracts are fairly similar, it’s down to where you prefer to live. As an FO you are unlikely to spend there more than one season anyway, if you want to move to another base in the network

[SimoFly]

are the actual conditions for the seasonal contracts in Spain and Portugal present online? some sort of spreadsheet with the salary elements

According to my sources, easyJet really need FOs in Spain and Portugal. I can't see them moving you after just a year unless they intend to downsize those bases.

You are wrong, they always need FOs in Spain and Portugal, yet everybody that wants to change base will do it in no more than a year, a year and a half. Captain side is different.
The moving pilots are simply replaced by new hires.
In the last two years they sent hundreds of cadets to those countries, and they eventually all got the base they wanted.

There are FO shortages on many EU bases, so moving around is fairly easy and fast. For captains it is quite different. Although even there it is easy enough to get out of seasonal bases.

EasyJet UK

Does everyone join as a SO in the UK regardless of hours or can you join as an FO if you have the hours?
(I have 2000TT / 1200+ factorised)

[FunFlyin]

You join depending on where you are factored I believe

Any idea about CPTs? Any chance of hiring DEC in the near future?

Hard to tell, things can of course change but right now the internal upgrades seem to be enough. Growth is limited and the turnover on the left seat is very low

Max fleet size next year adds almost 30 aircraft to current fleet though so a lot can happen over coming 6-12 months.

What’s the CU opportunities like one you meet the requirements? Especially if there’s not much movement from the LHS? Thanks

You are still behind all the other FOs with the requirements. Assuming you have a perfect training record and that you follow timely all
the hoops, I would count on at least 2 years. That is if you are willing to take the command in any base where they might need.
In the last couple of years the company is running 200-ish upgrades per year

Hey guys,
Does anyone knows how much time it would take on average to get a move to the Lisbon base as an FO after joining the company? Is the transfer list long?
And upgrading from FO to CPT would it be easy to maintain the Lisbon base?
Thank you.

Can't give concrete figures but Lisbon wouldn't be seen as a particularly desirable base. You can put your name on the list to transfer the day you pass your line check and you should be able to transfer within 9 months. Portugal and Spain are where all the new captains go so again it should be much easier to stay there than go somewhere in France or Italy
