The problem here is CAE, as they are not able to deliver the program for the students thus the students and easyJet being the ones suffering the consequences of CAE incompetences. If easyJet opens the MPL with another ATO that is able to deliver the program it would be the best program in EU. The problem here is not easyJet or the MPL its CAE either MPL or ATPL stufents license not being able to train them as they took a big number of students without research to see if they have the capabilities to train us and deliver us to easyjet. and delays with no or minimal compensation.
No, they are not looking out for you. If they were then why did they let all of the cadets go in 2020 without any initial opportunity of a hold pool? Yes those that took a gamble and opted for a whitetail MPL got employed after things began to recover. Not sure how you think that’s the best decision in a pandemic when you need an airline to provide base training to even have anything written on your license?
Some lost money or worse had nothing to show for it after already spending large amounts and weren’t re-approached for a job.
If I remember correctly Cityflyer told their cadets to finish getting a license (no matter which school) MPL or ATPL, and when the time comes, they will be offered employment, they just couldn’t put a date on it. A very fair and reasonable solution given this situation back then.
The program gives you a conditional job offer. Emphasis on conditional, and nothing more. It can be taken away. Please don’t solely listen to ATO sales teams telling you what you want to hear
