I'd heard from several sources inside the airline that easyjet were taking 16 CTC cadets on to the 320 LGW fleet at the end of May. I don't know if thats the case still or not, since plans seem to be evolving almost daily in response to the price of oil.
Interesting what WWW mentions about reducing pilot numbers at EZY. I can't see people being made redundant personally, not with the number of new aircraft coming in to the fleet. AH does allude to the possibility or rather probability that recruitment is going to stop to try to control crew numbers. Even then, surely SOME recruitment will still be required this year, just on a far smaller scale?
