EasyJet Hiring Experienced Pilots anytime soon?

I have just been reading through all these posts and find it interesting how many think that everything in Easy is doom and gloom.

I have been an SFO with easy for 3 1/2 years, I have seen some good and bad things. I worked for another company before and I can tell you now there will no airline where everything will be perfect. The grass is always greener on the other side until you get there.

I have been fortunate that I got a DEP position with easy when I joined the airline. I was told then that there had to be a balance between senior and junior pilots for insurance purposes. Wether that is true or not I don't know, but it worked out well for me. Will this ever come back is a good question. There are definitely quite a few SFO's leaving for the desert, upgrades of SFO's, rumours of BA starting to recruit again, etc but then there is also the threat of stagnation in expansion which will leave FO's sitting longer in the RHS.
Overall Easy will have to do something to keep the experience level up, so in that sense I am hopeful for new joiners or those who are on summer contracts, that better contracts will be offered.

I still believe that easyjet has the potential to be one of the best airlines to work for in Europe. Things need to change, but I think that that message is coming through now.
