I understand easyjet are paying mid 40K for low hour contract pilots.
More like 1200 a month and not a penny more. Until that elusive uk perm position becomes avail.

Whilst CTC and BA may have an arrangement to source any extra FPP numbers, BA are also running a DEP scheme for those already holding an fATPL or higher and required hours to complete a zero time TR( type rating). If BA need numbers immediately it will no doubt be a balancing act between the DEP hold pool, and CTCs extra 'hangers on' who have yet to be placed with another outfit. Who is available faster. It depends.
Airline requirements change as fast as the tides so don't sign up to an FTO just because you think it's the quickest back door entry to BA if rejected from the first year of this scheme. if you are still set on training make sure you go to the FTO you are most comfortable with!! That really is rule number1.

if you attended the OAA and got a rejection stating you may be eligible for the APP or MPL programs, the MPL has to be run in conjunction with an OPS1 operator, an airline. Thus you would most likely be applying for any future EZY course. The APP is simply a fancy branding term (OAA love there branding, they can't live without it!) for a CPL/ IR MCC course or fATPL.

Hope some of that helps.
