TRSS scheme FAQs
What if I have my own capital or perhaps wish to arrange my own loan to pay this bond?
No problem at all, we will still pay you the sponsored scale of salary for the first five years and also, a monthly repayment of that bond that you gave us initially at the rate of £5000 per year.
What qualifications do I need?
You must hold a JAA frozen/unfrozen ATPL and MCC and have a minimum total experience of 500 hours Multi-crew commercial experience ranging from medium to heavy turboprop to medium to heavy jets or military background (heavy transport, fast jet or Multi-crew rotary).
How long does the training course take and what is included?
The Advanced Handling Course takes one week, the Type Rating Course about two months. The first 5-6 weeks are located at CTC Aviations' Crew Training Centre at Nursling, near Southampton. The remainder of the time will be at the location of the Full Flight Simulator, where accommodation is provided.
What happens if I don't pass the Advanced Handling Course and therefore don't get offered the Type Rating training?
You will be repaid your bond less an excess of £3000.
What happens if I don't pass the Type Rating Training course?
We will provide you with a limited amount of additional training, but if we genuinely don't think you can make the grade, then we will stop the training and we will repay you your bond less an excess of £5000.
What's included in the course, are there additional costs that I have to bear once I have lodged my bond?
It's an all-inclusive course - accommodation is provided for the first ground school weeks on a full board basis and for the remaining weeks during Simulator on a B and B basis. Obviously you may require some additional funds for your normal living costs.
What happens to me if I decide to leave during the training course?
If you fail to honour your obligations, you could potentially forfeit your bond.
What happens if I leave easyJet before the end of my bond period?
An employee who leaves during the bond period will have breached the bond contract and will therefore forfeit any remaining bond. In that case, we would cease to make monthly bond repayments to you and you would remain liable for the monthly repayments to the bank (if you have availed yourself of that facility). Additionally, easyJet may be entitled to seek repayment from you of the additional costs of training that it has borne in excess of the bonded amount.
Can I pay off the loan early? Are there any penalties?
If you use the funding arranged through this scheme, you can pay off the loan early without penalty. However, we will, of course, continue to repay your bond to you.
What happens if I pass the course but you don't employ me?
This would only occur if our plans for new hire Pilots changed very unexpectedly. However, in this unlikely event, we would pay you back the bond amount in full.
Can I do my Type Rating anywhere?
No. If we are to keep our training costs under control, and to maintain the very high standard that we currently enjoy, then we require that the training course is supplied by our approved TRTO provider, CTC Aviation.
