For those hoping to do a bit of time as slave-labour at EZY, and then apply to BA are going to be very disappointed. The current annual bid results show that we are seriously over-crewed due to the BMI merger. The Airbus SH fleet is over-crewed, along with a few of the LH fleets. There are a handful of spaces reserved for FPP cadets, but no DEP recruitment on the horizon during 2013.
I take it from the video the reason why they had the Emirates guy there is to mitigate the concerns of what happens when EZY let their cadets go, but I do believe you need 2,500hrs in a jet. Anyone actually believe that guy looks through CVs, when they have an online application form eh? He must be up for retirement soon.
You really want to spend the next 35 years working in the sandpit?
CTC have completely ruined the career as an airline pilot in the UK. It sounds as though they are out to do the same in other parts of the world.
