Oleo,
Easyjet are so desperate for crew they are taking on very low houred guys through CTC who have bought their own type rating. Easy aren't even interviewing these guys.
I think you will find that easyJet have taken low-hour cadets from CTC for about the past decade now. To be successful, each cadet goes through a 4 stage process that culminates with a simulator qualification course consisting of 36 hours in either CTC's Airbus A320 sim or Boeing 737 sim.
Once on the rating, the CTC cadets undertake a full course consisting of, circa, 48 hours in the sim ove 12 sim details, not just the 4 sim sessions that you talk of.
I think that you are confusing the CTC scheme with self funded low hour cadets from other walks of life.
