My mate sent me this quote from the easyJet pilots' internal newspaper that came out today -
"With over 5 days remaining for A320 type rated pilots to apply on line I can advise that the response to this on line advert has been high. Almost 200 hundred pilots have already registered their interest so it is clear that there will be far more applicants than positions available. We have already started reviewing some of the applicants details and do not expect to have any difficulty in filling the number of places required. All successful pilots at application stage will be subject to the new easyJet 2 day assessment process.
Thomas Cook - Further to last week's announcement that Thomas Cook are removing 6 aircraft from their Fleet we are also in discussions with Thomas Cook management to see if we can offer any opportunities at easyJet for those pilots who will be displaced as a result of the A330s and A320s being removed from their fleet."
Interesting.
