I believe those with the required factored hours will sign SFO contracts.
Can't imagine many pilots with that much experience, accepting to go through a couple of years on a lower payscale. I'm sure easyJet is aware of that. Otherwise they would have kept hiring low houred inexperienced 21 year olds. That's apparently not what they've decided to do this time. I'm sure they know those experienced pilots will be looking for a relatively quick shot at the LHS and half decent pay.
When it comes to experienced staff, when you pay peanuts, you hire monkeys!
