I find myself, out of the pool come July, because I now don't have an Airbus rating!
You are wrong on this one si, the reason can't be you are not type rated, indeed, as I said before, there are many in the holding pool who are A320 type rated and current and have more hours on type than some of the contractors presently being offered permanent jobs, still none of them heard from easy. It's indeed quite surprising that easyjet didn't even care to give an explaination to holding pool pilots about why they are no longer considered, nor they considered to at least give us priority for another assessment once direct entry recruitment will start again. Hopefully norman who is clearly in the know may enlighten us about this new recruitment policy....
