easyJet's - and BALPA's - communications to staff (including an e-mail to me personally from one of the BALPA company council reps) indicate that any intake for 2009 will be through the FlexiCrew 'initiative'. I have no idea how many this affects, or whether it takes into account those who were on the 737 type rating with easyJet before FlexiCrew was announced.
Also it goes without saying that being invited for interview does not guarantee a job nor constitute removal from the hold pool...
