A slight deviation from the thread, but someone else has mentioned the roadshows. I am reliably informed that the Roadshow at Stansted was something of a disappointment. The chap running it apparently had no idea what the remuneration package was and just told the people there just to look at the website. In retrospect, that may have been a deliberate ploy to avoid any discussion on what is clearly a sensitive issue. The roadshow was lacking in any sort of detail beyond, "easyJet are great and are taking over the world", and require 140 pilots a year for the next few years.
There were apparently some excellent line Captains there at the "tea and biscuits" bit afterwards, which was the saving grace of the day. I am told that there was not many type-rated people there and that little thought seems to have have been given to the future recruitment of Airbus pilots. Apparently the first Airbuses are slated to go to Geneva in September 02, and the first UK-based ones arrive in January 03. Presumably they will be looking for Airbus people then but they do not appear to have thought about it for the moment.
