rogerg, the OAA Easy and Ryanair deals are not P2F, they are SSTR
Not true actually.
FR is an SSTR - no argument there.
However, the current OAA/Easy setup is a £35k SSTR along with 75hrs on the line - that to me makes a line training package to give an insignificant number of hours on type perhaps with the illusion that you become more marketable than a 'basic' SSTR. You then MAY POSSIBLY become a brookfield-style contractor under Parc who may or may not get you any additional Easy hours at £50ph.
That being said, I read some/all of the initial intake of 20 are now on permanent (or at least better) contracts which is nice but by no mean guaranteed in the initial training contract.
