Bno2fly,
I am categorically not standing up for this scheme. However, some of your points appear to be a bit wide of the mark.
3. It's not an atpl until you get your command - no different from a 'traditional' integrated course then
5. The whole training is based on Easyjet sops which makes it invalid elsewhere - no, it doesn't. It merely limits you to the aircraft type
6. Easyjet has just reported first quarter losses of over £100m - actually it's nearly double that, but was predicted. Wait for the second quarter report
7. Easyjets up to now massive growth rate is slowing - the relevance being ?
9. With no guarantee of a job you could essentially end up with no valid license. Not even a ppl! - not according to OAA. The press release on OAA's website states: "Additionally and specifically for MPL students, OAA is also offering the further guarantee of a fully-funded OAA ‘Safety Net’ reversion to an APPFO Integrated ATPL training course in the very unlikely event that the MPL programme ceases for any reason."
10. You will have zero choice on where you will work, say good bye to your family's because Madrid and Paris are always short on crew. - nothing MPL-specific about that.
11. Your receive an Easyjet a320 type rating again based on their seps so is it really going to be valid? Even if your license is? - ??
12. It isn't yet Caa approved, although they guarantee to put through an atpl if they don't accredit it that means how many more years until your online?? - What are the chances of the CAA rejecting the course: 1,000-1 ?
13. If Easyjet really wanted the best quality guys and had guaranteed jobs they would offer full sponsorship with repayments out of salary and a legally binding agreement for 10 years employment, it feels to me like they are worried that there may not be jobs so are making it risk free for themselves, and very high risk for potential candidates - plus ca change
14. Who's to say that when you complete that they won't choose a ctc guy over you, after-all they have a full atpl and type rating too, so essentially better qualified and are probably going to be accepting a lower pay to get the job. - Why would they ? Easy are investing time and money on the course. If it's all about the bottom line (which it is) where's the logic in that ?
