"12 ATP and 6 Wings Cadets are already type rated so they will be the first to leave the pool, if and when recruitment happens... "
Surely it is a matter of when rather than if....I'm sure easyjet will take as many cadets as possible, simply because of cost.. CTC's cadet product has proven to be of a high standard and just also happens to be fairly cheap. I believe the number of 18 type rated guys is fairly accurate, so for them to take 50 would reduce the cadet hold-pool by approx 30.
