JT8 - I think they are taking on CTC cadets but they only take on a few at a time. As much as they are in need of pilots they don't take them all from the ATP scheme as I think they want a balance of experience. Also the pass rate of experienced pilots going through the conversion course is better than that of CTC cadets and it wastes money to train a CTC cadet up to the point where they fail the course or fail in their line training. So as a result of this, easyJet take a drip feed of cadets from CTC I think. As one myself, I have to say it is a good scheme but when I went through there weren't many in the pool.
