I am an EZY Trainer and have personally trained some of the ATP cadets at FSC in AMS. I have also subsequently flown several Line Training flights with a number of them. It would be a sweeping generalization to say they are all bad - that is simply not true. There have been issues with course structure and timing, but not something that could not be ironed out. The key thing for all outsiders to know is that easyJet management have not hesitated to act when they were concerned about individual performances - not everyone who started has finished the course for one reason or other. Our Head of Training is a cautious man - a trait it is difficult to criticize in his position. Any risk is too much risk and he has acted accordingly. For whatever reason the scheme is over at easyJet and once the current candidates are finished that will be the end of it. Not a single one will move directly to easyJet for a 'real' job. If subsequently they get positions with other airlines, they will no doubt be eligible to apply to apply to easyJet through the normal recruitment process - assuming they have the necessary experience.
