I think there were 16 of us recruited at roughly the same time (based on attendance at the CRM cse) of which 2 were ex-mil. If the rumours are correct 1 individual was let go at the end of their summer contract, all the rest were offered 100% contracts.
Basing as an FO was the one which appeared on my contract and as a Capt was decided by date of completion of command cse.
I can only call it based on my experience and the treatment I have witnessed handed out to colleagues from all backgrounds. As with the RAF and my previous employer I know of cases where the airline could have done much better but that is very different from an "appalling outfit that has an in-bred obsession with screwing flight crews".
Good luck to all those thinking of applying.
