With expansion slowing to a relative crawl, easyJet will not have a significant need for untagged cadets from CTC/ OAA etc.
You know I have always wondered whether there might be some sort of legal case against easyJet for their recruitment policy. I mean if you want to get a first flying job with them you have to do CTC/OAA which usually involves taking out a large loan, which these days means having unmortaged value on a UK property. Obviously not everyone has this which is effectively, tagged or not, is a bar on people who are financially less fortunate. Surely this is a form of discrimination.
