I would expect that Ryanair and Easy will continue to hire in droves into the future - perhaps Bacon and Flybe pilots who qualify in terms of hours or applicable jet time (Barbie or 146 time - I understand not as valuable as 737 or A320 time) should apply and then move on... Why stay if you could move on? Let the junior pilots with no jet time or just FO time progress and put up with the uncertainty and low pay.
Excluding the desire to live at a remote outstation or non-Easy/Ryan hub, why would someone wish to stay at Flybe long term when other opportunities at fast-growing LCCs exist?
