The only reason Easyjet have taken CAE whitetails recently and L3 cadets is because the MPL supply dried up Nearly all the 2019 CAE MPL intake transferred to integrated courses during covid.

In September 2020 Easyjet recinded the job offer of every MPL and Tagged cadet at CAE. Most of the MPLs transferred to the fATPL at CAE. For those at core phase 1 this wasn't much of an issue as all of core phase 1 was identical to pt1 to pt2 phase of the integrated. The ones that got caught out were those past core phase 2. Due to the pseudo multi crew way cp2 is taught it wasn't cross creditable to the integrated route. It was most of that contingent that transferred to FTE. A small number of the CAE MPLs also went to Leading Edge due to the delays at CAE. It is also worth noting those that transferred to FTE finished training 6 months or more quicker than those that stayed at CAE. In about Oct or November 2020 Easyjet issued a letter to say all previous MPLs and tagged would be eligible to enter a 2 year hold pool. So those that transferred to FTE lost their position in the hold pool.

The poster above is correct CAE are contracted to supply 200 MPLs per year to Easy. This suggests that there will be no more tagged integrated and no more white tails going to Easy in the future. I suspect Easyjet know nothing about true workings of CAE Oxford. Easyjet persistently present at PCL about CAE but it is evident the Senior Pilots that present at PCL have never spoken to any of the FIs at CAE.
