With this level of uncertainty even in the short-to-medium term, long-term planning is at the very bottom of the waste bin - and that's where it will stay until we have a high level of certainty that we're not heading into another lockdown and that a considerable number of people are willing to travel in the coming months and can afford it. For a new intake into the programme to make any sense, there has to be a long-term projection of demand for the graduates, i.e. the airline has to be quite certain that in 18, 24 or 36 months, whenever the cadets are planned to graduate, they will be required to run the business and hence - hired. And how can this sort of strategic planning work given that at present it's not even known whether the existing jobs will be kept? Massive job losses are still on the cards at EZY - and it doesn't sound like those will be of a short-term nature. And the cadets who have already been trained and are in a holding pool now mostly aren't going anywhere either. So, forget about a new intake for some time. For how long - time will tell.
