surely easyjet cant afford to pay 23 odd grand for a type rating so you can do six months (getting £1000 a month and having to be supervised by a third pilot alot of the time) then leave? It probably costs them somwhere around 35K to get a cadet through his line check. They wont get that money back. It would be cheaper for them to send you on paid leave till they needed another pilot. Im in the hold pool waiting for easy myself, maybe im suffering confirmation bias.
