Dire situation
I’m not so sure what the best route would be.
When my son started his training (pre COVID), upon balance of probabilities of securing first FO position, we opted for integrated.
Unfortunately since completing his fATPL and MCC, he’s been in the flying school pool. EasyJet came to the school in November and wanted some pilots, my son due to COVID-19 restrictions finished 1 week later than some of his group. At that time he missed out.
However since then they have requested for more pilots in February, this time easyJet are saying that his training finished more than 12 months ago and they want freshly trained pilots. They have bypassed some 30 pilots in the pool.
I have spoken to BALPA and CAA, they are very sympathetic and find this easyJet policy immoral, however they cannot help.
My advice would be to do MPL
