Yes somewhere between 50- 70 ( my guess) are leaving or have left. Yes this will probably leave an experience gap between low houred cadet and required new captain. However, easyjets main source of new pilots will continue to be ctc / parc and flexicrew. It's only unpopular with pilots, management love it. Talk of direct entry sfo is prob correct in perhaps a year but it will only be to plug a gap. Don't expect it to be a permanent change unless the exodus to ba etc accelerates massively.
