And yes I prefer paying that amount of money and flying for free rather than not flying at all. What do you want? earning a lot of money and then lose your job when the airline goes bust during this terrible crisis?? is that what you really want guys?
I think Flying Clara that you need a dose of reality, who pays for the bills at home if pilots work for nothing? How long would you work for free? Completely unrealistic unless of course you've got a rich Daddy but not everyone has one of those.
As far as easyjet hiring, it looks like there may be some jobs but seasonal at best.
