RAT 5 - get real!!!!
Many of the people being offered 1 year "apprenticeship" deals have held commands, have many thousands of hours on type and are proven entities on other AOC's.
If a 1 year "apprenticeship" is needed, it suggests to me one of these two possibilities:
1) easyJet are not confident of their own tried and tested recruitment methods, or;
2) They are taking the p1ss out of experienced pilots - and by extension all of us as professional pilots.
