Alexander - whatever you wish to call it, the first year is working for CTC on an hourly rate with no guarantees of how many hours you will be required (my understanding is that there is no guaranteed minimum - if you are not rqd you are not paid). That sounds pretty much like a zero hours contract to me. Your not even being paid by easyJet. Therefore you are not contracted to easyJet. Your contract is with CTC. After 12 months you are eligible to be interviewed for a permanent position with easyJet. Only then does your probationary period with easyJet start.
People can come up with wonderful titles & names for different contracts if they wish.
A job working through an intermediate company on an hourly rate with no obligation on the end users part, sounds just as bad as Brookfield. It just has a prettier name.
