NSF, I'd rather see cadets being offered a normal decent entry permanent contracts, instead of ex-BMI guys. No offence to them, but because of their hours they will most likely end up ahead of me on the command waiting list even though I am eligible for CPI. Our flight deck requirements are not such that we need to get either captains or command ready FOs. Many of us could have gone elsewhere 3 or 4 years ago but decided that easyJet was an OK place to climb the ladder. I know we are not a seniority based airline. But these are not desperate times in terms of recruitment, so rewarding loyalty wouldn't cost much.
