In association with international airline pilot training and resourcing organization CTC Aviation, the series follows easyJet\u2019s pilots-to-be from their acceptance into an airline pilot career program to their first solo flight and\u00a0their first passenger flight. Using a mini fixed rig, the docuseries will bring viewers inside the cockpit with the rookie pilots. It also puts a spotlight on easyJet\u2019s efforts to increase the number of female pilots, who currently make up just 5 percent of the world\u2019s pilots.<\/p>\n<p>The program was developed by ITN Productions\u2019 Will Smith, the head of factual, and Dan Grabiner, the head of development. It was commissioned by ITV&#8217;s head of factual entertainment, Sue Murphy, and ITV\u2019s factual commissioner, Satmohan Panesar.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Tyrrell, head of flight operations for easyJet, said, \u201ceasyJet\u2019s pilots are integral to the airline\u2019s success. Safety is our number one priority so all new recruits undergo intensive and rigorous training and only the best are selected to fly for easyJet. We are really pleased to be able to show viewers female pilots at each stage of their careers and hopefully they will inspire a whole new generation of girls and women to what is a hugely rewarding career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Panesar commented: &#8220;easyJet changed the face of air travel when it was set up 21 years ago, and today they are an iconic brand. We are thrilled that they have partnered with ITV and we look forward to booking our ticket and following the dreams of wannabe pilots as they take to the skies for the first time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Smith remarked: \u201cWe are delighted to be working with easyJet and CTC on this series, which will show just what it takes to become a pilot at the U.K.\u2019s busiest airline. It will be a fascinating insight into the ever-changing role of today\u2019s pilot, which involves so much more than taking the controls at 30,000 feet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: ITV has commissioned ITN Productions\u2019 three-part docuseries easyJet: Inside the Cockpit (working title), which uses a mini fixed rig to go inside the cockpit and showcase what it takes to become an easyJet pilot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1657,1560,423],"class_list":["post-9345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-easyjet-inside-the-cockpit","tag-itn-productions","tag-itv","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ITV Orders Docuseries on easyJet Pilots - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/itv-orders-docuseries-on-easyjet-pilots\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ITV Orders Docuseries on easyJet Pilots - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LONDON: ITV has commissioned ITN Productions\u2019 three-part docuseries easyJet: Inside the Cockpit (working title), which uses a mini fixed rig to go inside the cockpit and showcase what it takes to become an easyJet pilot.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/itv-orders-docuseries-on-easyjet-pilots\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-11-04T13:00:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-11-04T17:27:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/itv-orders-docuseries-on-easyjet-pilots\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/itv-orders-docuseries-on-easyjet-pilots\/\",\"name\":\"ITV Orders Docuseries on easyJet Pilots - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-11-04T13:00:42+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-11-04T17:27:38+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/itv-orders-docuseries-on-easyjet-pilots\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/itv-orders-docuseries-on-easyjet-pilots\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/itv-orders-docuseries-on-easyjet-pilots\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"ITV Orders Docuseries on easyJet Pilots\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
