A couple of questions spring to mind.
1. How long are (were) the CTC Ezy cadets 'tied in' on a reduced salary/ gross salary loan repayment period at easy?
2. Are they still offering the scheme unaltered if loads leave?
I cannot believe that easy will be happy with this 'ideal' scheme if it not having the desired effect of locking pilots in for a number of years cheap labour.
If you have found a fatal flaw in the system, then great, but it still doesn't get away from the fact that if you train modular, save a fortune and apply for direct entry TCUK, Easy or whoever, you will still be better off 7 years later. The market is improving considerably this year and next year should be bumper. If things hold together and everyone keeps expanding into 2008, then the newly qualified frozen ATPL holder should have comparatively little problem getting a job. It's all a gamble, whichever route you choose, but becoming a professional pilot usually involves NOT being a risk taker.
