Sort of a seperate thread to my modular pursuit - but I'm looking at Generation easyJet's MPL, and I've heard some bad experiences. From what I've heard, the letters of employment were revoked by easyJet and a hold pool was created months later. As far as I've been told the MPLs that stuck with EZY have been hired/about to be hired, but I want to know the situation now, if there are any current EZY MPL students or past MPL students that can advise me on the current situation? Are the MPL students advised on how long they have before starting with EZY at the tail of the training
Understand where I'm coming from because my parents prioritise job security with course price, and I don't want to have wasted £100k of my parent's money with a nearly useless license!
I've been looking at fATPL modular routes (see my other posts!) but I want something which "guarantees" (variable) employment before I commit to any payment.
p.s I did see a post mentioning rumor of EZY having "overhired" and they're in trouble, anyone got insight on this?
Apart from all the marketing nonsense, I doubt there's any course which actually guarantees a job at the end. Although the
PR and cadets will make you think so! As far as I'm aware, there's a job interview at the end of your training to see wether you actually get the job. So, there's a path, but no promises. Unless that's all changed and i'm really out of touch. Just tread carefully and avoid MPL courses. Any downturn in the industry or your MPL airline going bust, then you're £100K down the drain and cannot even fly a mere Cessna 152 as you don't have a worthy licence. Monarch, Flybe, Thomas Cook, Aer Lingus (dropped MPLs during covid). History will repeat itself, just a matter of when!
