20k is a lot of money for a TR. However, unlike the cheaper TR available elsewhere this has a job attached with real prospects. It is no good bemoaning the fact that airlines should be paying for this training and then bonding pilots. Those days have long gone. If you want to have a job at easyJet play by their rules if not then too bad. The T&Cs will be worse in 3 years time that is the only guarantee. Until there is a chronic shortage of pilots of any experience nothing will change. Either climb aboard now or watch the train leave from the platform. Jumping and cursing will make no difference.
Tremendous perception.
It is quite simple.
All it takes is that each and every successful candidate (all of whom must read this thread?) who goes through this present Easyjet recruitment drive, declines the contract on offer.
Overnight, it will be improved.
Similar things are already happening at one or two airlines near you, albeit not ones that fly the electric death jet.
This is a Company forecast to make between £430-480 million profit this financial year.
Au contraire Monarch, despite their financial position, continue to offer ratings.
Easyjet aren't doing it for financial reasons, they're doing it because they can, and because, like the author of the above quote, pilots are content to submit to the propaganda.
