CAE Whitetails benefitted from the MPL scheme collapsing during covid
The group most badly effected were the ones that were midmay or near to completing core phase 2 around Aug 2020. Core phase 2 was not cross creditable to Integrated. It was that group that mainly transferred out to FTE to complete the Integrated route. The pseudo multi crew aspect of cp 2 was the issue for cross credit. This was the main group that lost its "offer" at Easyjet.
The MPLs at core phase 1 were able to transfer easily across to integrated as Core phase 1 was ineffect the same as Integrated phase 1 and most of phase 2. Alot of that group remained at CAE still ended up at Easyjet. As this group became integrated "tagged" rather than MPL this group ended up paying an extra 30k for the A320 rating. A small number from this group did continue with what was essentially initially an unbacked white tail MPL.
The group already at basic phase had no choice to continue with MPL.
It did stand the MPLs were the first to be recruited in early 2022. As there was no CAE MPL intake in 2021 and 2022 then this opened up offers at Easyjet for whitetail integrated graduates from CAE, L3 and later Skyborne and FTE during 2023.
Going forward it would appear Easyjets plan will be to again resort to using CAE MPL as the main source of cadets now the scheme has resumed.
