Put frankly. Right now, the only way I can get into easyJet is to hand over £25k to a man who lied to my face and to others
Actually wannabee24 there may be another way. Anyone with a 320 rating and 500 hours on type could always offer themselves as Captains at 2/3rds of the current pay for that position. Think about how much that will save any airline.

Sure the current incumbents will bitch like stink and demand that BALPA get involved and will complain about falling standards, safety implications and erosion of experience levels. Of course they could grow some gonads now and stand up for their fellow employees but they wont so they wont be able to use those excuses when it happens to them.

But the same TRE's that train the P2F candidates at the TRTO's are the same TRE's at the airline so they would never sign you off as they are protecting their own little patch. Its a disgrace.

Used to be the more experience you had the more chance you had of getting a job. Now the less experience you have the more likely you are to find a job...................... so pay to fly must be bad thing as it gives you more experience which makes you less employable
