So in conclusion, there is no prospect of anyone with any experience joining easy in the near future? (Parc contracting not included!)
I am more than just a little disillusioned with this industry at the moment. I have nearly 3000hrs flying medium jets and apart from the Middle East there is almost nowhere that will take me without a type rating and the willingness to work as a contractor for an extended period (Since BA didn't want me). It would seem that experience is no longer an advantage in this industry, a very sad state of affairs for us all.
There really is no excuse for this in an airline like easy which is well unionised. Does anyone think the results of project Merlin will open the doors for experienced, non-rated pilots to join on a permanent contract?
