As this is an Easyjet recruitment thread I wont bore anybody with the fine details, but capacity growth comes from 380 and 787 being larger than the aircraft they replace. There is also a greater mix of longhaul to shorthaul flying requiring more crews. After that we're into retiree's.
Recruiting 800 pilots over 5 years is not for the olympics lasting just a few weeks.
Anyway that was last weeks plan. The worlds economy might, and probably will, implode some time soon.
