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?
Just a few things:
- The conditional letters of employment have not been revoked by easyJet.
- A 'hold pool' was created in Phoenix, whereby all cadets they can't deal with immediately were sent home, to return at a later date.
- CAE have been taking on too many cadets. Having realised this they've prioritised MPL cadets over whitetails in Phoenix.
- easyJet have had to look elsewhere for their pilot recruitment, which is unlikely to affect current MPL cadets but it may have an impact on future classes if they decide they don't need them all.
