CAE re-opens cadet recruitment for the Generation easyJet Pilot
Training Programme in partnership with the leading European
airline
(NYSE: CAE) (TSX: CAE) – CAE and easyJet
announced today the re-opening of the Generation easyJet Pilot
Training Programme to recruit aspiring pilots over the next six
months. Recruitment is open to cadets from all European countries
to support easyJet’s growing bases in the United Kingdom, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
While maintaining the option to follow ground
school classes in Oxford, UK, CAE will open, for the first time,
Generation easyJet ground school classes in its Brussels, Belgium
and Madrid, Spain aviation academy locations. Flight training
phases will continue to be served from Phoenix (Arizona), USA and
Oxford, UK. Selected cadets will follow one of two training routes:
either Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL) or Integrated Airline
Transport Pilot License (ATPL). Upon completion of training, the
next generation of pilots will join operations as easyJet
co-pilots.
“We are delighted to open our Generation easyJet
Pilot Training Programme once again. easyJet values diversity and
having a workforce that reflects our customer base, so we look
forward to welcoming the next generation of aspiring pilots from
across Europe to apply and pursue this rewarding career,” said
David Morgan, Director of Flight Operations for easyJet. “At
easyJet, we pride ourselves in having a team of the highest talent.
We offer our pilots a clear career path with the opportunity to
develop from First Officer to Captain quicker than at other
airlines. This is an exciting time to join easyJet as we continue
to grow and develop to maintain our position as Europe’s leading
airline.”
“We are proud to play a critical part in
easyJet’s growth strategy by providing its next generation of
pilots,” said Nick Leontidis, CAE’s Group President, Civil Aviation
Training Solutions. “By leveraging our extensive training network
in Europe, we are able to offer the Generation easyJet Pilot
Training Programme to a much larger pool of candidates across the
continent.”
CAE has been delivering training equipment and
services for easyJet pilots since 2004, in addition to developing
professional pilots across its training network. In 2010, easyJet
selected CAE as its launch partner for its Multi-Crew Pilot Licence
(MPL) training programme. To date, CAE has selected, assessed,
trained and delivered more than 900 first officers through the
easyJet MPL Integrated ATPL and initial type-rating training
programmes for the airline.
The online application for the Generation
easyJet Pilot Training Programme is now open. For more information
