My concern (addressed to you as someone who is involved in the command process) is the attitude that some of the hopefuls on here have. Their understandable desire for the LHS and obvious feeling that they justify a quick command may make them poor supporting FO's for some of our new, young commanders. An experience and age gap between the LHS and RHS is a known issue, however so is the fact that older more experienced FO's flying with younger less experinenced captains can also cause problems. By the time these new recruits get onto the command list there will be a significant number of FO's above them who have only ever experienced CTC and easyJet.

We just have to trust that the recruiters in easyJet are taking as much careful consideration when choosing future pilots to their attitiude as they are to their experience and qualifications. Experience and qualifications are easy to assess; attitude is more difficult. As some have suggested; what they portray here is vastly difference to how they present at interview.
