Having said all that I do hope that a significant number of experienced people from all backgrounds accept what's on offer. You are needed. I cannot comment on the contracts offered; those are the remit of the commercial and HR people.
A possible insight into a/one Senior EZY pilots view on the matter?
....There is also a contingent of ex-Cathay, ex-Virgin and ex-sandpit people who are all within sight of their personal sunsets...
In this thread, one pilots "sunset" is another pilots "nuclear wasteland".
Frankly though, if the aforementioned is the case, everybody contemplating joining ought to hold out for something better. Why colleagues on the inside of the airline, aren't saying that? One can only speculate....
The Southwest Airlines motto is "Doing the Right Thing". The book, The Southwest Airlines Way, identifies various reasons why the organisation is so successful and respected.
EZY is doing this the wrong way. There is no justifiable reason for many of the aspects of this NEC. For instance, the numbers of experienced NR'ed people failing TR's on joining a new Company must be vanishingly small.
Various contributors may feel the end justifies the means, but SuBo is right, in the sense that, if EZY kicks off its relationship with these new experienced pilots on such a shaky footing, why should they believe the leopard will ever change its spots? Similarly, how can they fail to be surprised when there is no loyalty shown henceforth?
