It is also worth saying that the guys who are looking for internal promotion at easyJet are understandably miffed at people being taken in from outside. I alluded previously to the fact that they are still promoting internally - the word is that there are still not sufficient 'suitable' candidates internally to cover their expansion if it kicks off again. Hence I know from the recruiters that they are still taking direct-entry captains (current Airbus captains only) but at the moment they are only going to a holding pool as discussed previously.
The other thing I heard which is very interesting is that they are looking at non-type rated FOs (mainly turboprop) for some reason. Basically these guys effectively pay for their own type rating by going through the TRSS scheme. You basically get a period of time (5 years?) on reduced salary to pay for the rating and from easyJet's perspective it is very cost effective.
