Guy of Gisborne - I completely agree that military guys are a known quantity, like the integrated course pilots. I also agree with others that the overriding qualification to get into easyJet is money to pay for a course. The hiring of low-houred pilots in the numbers that have been typical in recent years has been absolutely ridiculous. The days are long gone when you can say that easyJet hires the best pilots - they hire the cheapest, simple as that. That means huge numbers of very capable pilots are prevented from even applying and instead we have taken numerous pilots who cannot even land the aircraft safely. I have always backed a broad recruitment policy taking from the ranks of ex-flying instructors, helicopter pilots, non-rated jet pilots, ex-mil, ex-turbine, self improvers and cadets. That has been conspicuously absent for many years now and I think that is a safety issue - but who am I?
