Lot of young pilots are confused about what is required for airline job so thought adverts below may clarify things. Note the factoring table at the end, basically it means 3000 hours on single engine is factored down to 900 hours as far as EasyJet is concerned etc. Also note how CTC is marketed / positioned, message is if you are not experienced give us yer mooney and get lost... They say how will a newbie benefit from extensive training, no mention of job etc. (Well done marketing team)
