Not exactly promising for any of us playing the waiting game!

I was also offered places in Madrid or Brussels for this year as I was given the impression 2020 dates would be coming sooner than is actually the case, and wanted to go travelling before starting. Instead, I’m still in my old job living in a strange state of limbo until EZY pass over those dates.

I spoke to Marcus at CAE the other day and apparently there are 25 future EasyJet cadets waiting on this!

Really hoping they don’t suddenly change their criteria and leave us in the lurch.
Fingers crossed they are able to sign the 2020 contracts. Having read something on another thread here about CAE, it was suggested that the Oxford school was going to be slowly phased out. Not sure on the validity of that, but it further cemented my decisions on accepting the Madrid/Brussels offers. It seems there's a lot up in the air (if you'll pardon the pun) regarding the status of the MPL. I've also noticed they've stopped taking applications to the course (good move) to get through the backlog of applications who are stuck between Stage 2 & 3.
