Thanks Norman for an informative post. Indeed I pretty much gave up any thoughts of getting into Ezy quite a while ago unfortunately, although officially still in the pool, but that is the reality of life at the moment I'm afraid.
Which had me wondering, where do guys like myself go in the forseeable. Quite a few years now on heavy TPs, a few thousand hours, and I cannot for the life of me see how guys in the same situation will ever move into jet airlines anymore, not just Ezy, but generally. As you say, I think the days of the old traditional routes of cutting one's teeth in maybe light twins, then heavy TPs, then moving into the jet world (should one want to of course, not everyone does I understand that) are long gone, and sadly for the industry, will not be returning, certainly in the numbers we used to see anyway.
I know this is an aside to the topic of the Ezy hold pool, but I'm just interested in other guys' views on this, particularly those of you in a similar boat, good hours on TPs, a few years now under your belt, where do we go from here???
