So for the apparent contradiction, i judge that he was implying the MPL programme would fulfill EZY's requirements. (not untagged pilots). He also said that Flybe (who i thought employed many low hour pilots) are starting to target older/more experienced pilots as they've had enough of people using them to go elsewhere and dumping them at any opportunity
OK thanks, that's a bit clearer now.
My sense about easyJet is that no one really knows - they have just ordered more planes, although most are replacements for existing ones I believe. More fundamentally though there seems to be a big disagreement between easy's founder and the current management over how much more growth can be squeezed out of the European market. Who is right? I guess time will tell. Certainly the continued flat lining of the Eurozone is not helping...
There could be more growth if easy's strategy of eating into legacy passengers works but how much mileage is there in that really...?
