Oxford and Easyjet are now offering an "Airline Opportunity". You guessed it, circa £30K buys you a TR and line training and the promise of summer operations as an FO....!

Having read this thread the most worrying phrase in the offer is the promise of "alternative winter operations"....should one read this as CC work?

If one turned down the CC work in favour of spending the winter as a pilot (FI on SEP), would that be punished with no new FO contract come the next summer season? Or is the offer of CC work given to try and help FOs maintain an income (if they don't have another means of gainful employment)?

Begs the question, do they actually need more TR'd FOs? and if not why are they doing it?
