From the stuff I hear EY are looking for quite a lot of cadet pilots for next year.
Only you can choose if spending money to get a free ATPL and job with a national carrier who just ordered another 100 aircraft is worth it.
As you said they do seem to be inviting quite a few, but now I think about it, I guess they would so that they only get the best ones, only inviting 10 people would make it quicker though!!
