easyjet

Hi,
I was just after you thoughts and opinions on the chances of a job with easyjet next year.

I'm currently a Captain on a Q400. I've got about another year of my bond left and was thinking of easyjet as a possible move. Projecting my hours forward to next march I'll have around 5500 or so. From what I hear the chances of a direct entry are slim to nil. So I'd be looking at a stint in the right hand seat.

My questions are.....

How long might I have to spend as an FO before command?
What are the chances of getting the base I want?

I'm asking about easyjet as the flying they do is about the same as what I do at the moment. ie sectors of around 1-2hrs. 2-4 rotations a day.

Thanks in advance

Homer J
