I *think* easyJets net increase in fleet size for next year is 7. Assuming a ratio of 5 crews per aircraft this means 35 new Commands for current FO's and therefore 35 new jobs for FO's to join. Allowing for a few leavers/medical losers then an annual demand of around 40 cadets might be about right.
Other than Ryanair (33k SSTR) or possibly FlyBe I don't think there's any other expansion plans in the UK amongst major airlines for 2010.
Middle or Far East, Sir?
