The boat for UK jet charter experienced SFO's joining easyJet for a quick UK command sailed in 2007. You've missed it my quite some margin. Colleagues with more foresight didn't.
In 2008 the portcullis on experienced FO's clattered down just before Christmas. After that it was CTC only. Flexi deals that treated you like you were are a flying instructor/air work guy... Congratulations on spending £70k to jump 4 rungs of the ladder - now rung 4 pays the same as the old rung 1. You were warned.
There is a vast pool of highly experienced SFO's in EZY despite talk to the contrary. The current expansion stops in 2013. A handful of direct entry SFO's may sneak in but i doubt it.
The sandpit is a much better bet for a job offer. I'd rather spoon my eyes out. But hey.
