The word on the street, or in the air, is that cadets will continue to be a strong recruitment target for easyJet, but due to SFO updrades/desertions there will be a CAA worrying experience gap in the FO demographic (do I sound too management? - I'm not, I assure you).
There is a belief among trainers that direct entry FOs will be taken on at some point this year, but the numbers are closer to someone else's chest than mine, so I can't offer useful specifics. Experience requirements are likely to be in the range not covered by early year cadets (namely sub 1500 hours) and I suspect a full ATPL will be expected.
MPLs, well, this is a very unwelcome turn of events for existing pilots - particularly trainers - and I'm not sure when or if the airline will see its first intake.
Finally, due to a little airline set book I have out at the moment, I can not possibly admit to working for easyJet, but I know hundreds that do!
Hope this helps
