I'm actually quite interested in hearing about cheaper options you clearly seem to know about better than anyone else here...
Is it ideal? No
Is it great? Hell no
Can you find better right now except for RYR or Aer Lingus? No
Grab those three answers, see it as an investment and go for it. As of right now EasyJet offers you one of the most solid careers in europe, 5 or less years to upgrade and a decent salary once you're flying on line.
It is far from being the best thing ever, I would prefer not to pay a single cent after my course, but we have to learn how to adapt to the times we live in. If you wanna try your luck for less money, go to Susi Air for example. Turbine time will help you after a couple years in there, if you wanna go straight to an A320 on the 21st century, there is a price tag.

Recency of training
Has anyone applied for, passed screening or attended a selection stage of this route, completed their training more than 3 years ago?

This Route 4 is a brand new route in to the RHS at easyJet. Internal memo at CTC identified it opening due to such a significant demand from the company for pilots which it couldn't otherwise fill with the MPL/Whitetail courses.
This isn't from anything CTC has published and is simply my best guess, but I reckon any information out on the internet about easyJet and CTC will be representative of what you will experience within the program. I can't say for certain, but it's also my best guess pilots will start on Flexicrew, then SO grade (around 75% FO), then FO - in the UK at least.
Hope that helps.

Ive just been sent an email inviting me to Day 1, am truly excited, lots of preparation underway. Lets hope this is the start to an exiting future with EZY.
At present there doesent seem to be any dates avaiable, although am guessing its a waiting game, anyone else had facing similar issues.

Waiting for more assessment days to open up, too!
Does anyone know if this is a competitive assessment for a limited number of jobs or...'if you pass, you get on the course'?

I was originally accepted and received an email yesterday that they cannot proceed with my application because I completed training more than 3 years ago - 3 years and 2 months, to be exact 😩...

So are you saying that if you have finished your training 3 years ago - you are not eligible for entry??
So what do you have to do to become current again? or do you give up?
This industry has never had a clear route to a job - it can take weeks to years -and less if you know the right people!
So why put these silly rules - esp when you need pilots?
Clearly airline driven and not CTC
Why people accept these rules and treatment beats me.....
The final kick up the backside is that on top of that you have to pay a very high price with low T&C's
So what do you have to do to become current again? or do you give up?

What this really says is, that the guidelines you adhere to set out by the CAA are to be completely ignored, in turn denying candidates the right to apply for employment. It offers no alternative - get to 3 years and you are obsolete.
Very disappointing - hopefully other options will be made available in the future.
In the email I received, they said that the £295 assessment fee would be refunded as a gesture of 'goodwill'. Goodwill? So, even though my assessment was cancelled to no fault of my own, and no pre determined requirements, I should be grateful to get my money back.
I would note that this update has not been added to any advertisement regarding the course as yet.
On another note - good luck to all those who have applied! Sounds like an amazing opportunity.
