Why just another 16? And I think you'll find their are an awful lot more than 16 TRd guys and girls in their holdpool. Ezyrampers point is a very good one. Easy will have to do a mix of internal upgrades and contract captains and that will leave a void in the FO ranks. I don't think 70 places are on the cards but maybe 50. Easyjet will keep their FO intakes to their bare minimum, they will spread things as thinly as possible but with an increase of 7 aircraft for the year, taking just over 30 pilots would leave them under crewed.
