It does seem a bit odd to apply a 1500 hour maximum to this scheme and then require multi pilot experience ... in other words they're basically looking to steal freshly minted FO's from other airlines? There surely can't be
that many of those on the market who aren't already bonded for their existing positions.
I could list plenty of people with way in excess of 1500 hours, who have been hammering the regular EZY recruitment channels and can't seem get a look in, who would happily apply for the type rating scheme but now appear to be over qualified ... so what gives
