No one employed by easyjet paid for line training. The few that did recently were shown the door once their 150hrs of fun was over. So I don't know where you get all this 90% stuff from. A large number of ezy pilots paid for their initial TR though, that cannot be disputed. Although I got a B737 rating on joining and an A320 rating 12 months later, I think it was buy one get one free that year
Anyone who goes through CTC
effectively pays for their jet rating with absolutely no guarantee of a job. I'm not criticising anyone who does this, paying for a TR is becoming common practise. Paying for line training is a crock of
and is the next big threat to industry T&Cs.
Good luck Narwhal, to be blunt with 300hrs I can't think of anywhere, certainly not within Europe.
