Plan for the worst case scenario, e.g. paying for your TR then if you end up being bonded its a bonus.
Best of luck
Not surprised although it is a shame, I've always admired easyjet not only for the fleet (
) and the destinations but the work environment (or what I see of it anyway). As hobbit said below the industry is quite cyclical so I don't think it will be an impossibility that they run dry when I plan to finish training (10+ year's time).
What connection to you have to EZY? Do you work there or are applying? As a pilot or flight ops?
I will try to take your advice (which seems to be quite common advice in this thread) and "prepare for the worst, hope for the best". Thanks for taking the time to reply.
