unfortunately people associate 'Easyjet training' hand in hand with CTC. Easyjet training is indeed very good..as good as I have seen. Alas the CTC experience before people enter the actual Easyjet training environment can be pretty grim. I havn't flown with many people (who have something to compare it to) who have much good to say about it.
Any airline that forces pilots to pay for their own training must do so with realistic expectation that they may lose such candidates prematurely to 'a better offer'. They reap what they sow. It would appear that a considerable number of UK airlines are now willing to take that risk.
