Budget carrier having a laugh
The easyjet type-rating sponsorship scheme is IMHO only a punchline short of being a joke. For a bargain 23k you can put yourself through the hell and high water we call the airline industry to end up paying an over-inflated price for a type-rating only to end up being bonded to easyjet for 5 years with your own money!
One again another classic example of airlines taking the mickey out of prospective employees. After all the training and hard work invested in your licence you now (apparently) have to pay for the job as well.
Easy claim its people are its number one asset. I bet they are the pounds their chucking in for their training. No wonder they can afford to fly people around the continent for 20 quid. Who needs training expenses when you've got such generous staff.
I suggest to all those even thinking about easy to hold fire and let them run short of crew. Only then will they invest in their people and pass the training costs on to Joe Bloggs. When people sign up to these schemes we all suffer because its another nail in our livelihoods.
Its enough to put you off oranges forever.
