Wow folks so it looks like us that are looking at this negatively are doing so without cause, the contract is permanent after all and of course you will get plenty of hours.
My only question is, if that is the case why are you not employed by easyJet directly and offered guaranteed hours? All the recent replies seem to suggest that this is what you will get.
I can tell all that you that from what I have been told you are most definitely not guaranteed a position as I know 2 guys that have been let go in the last 2 years, both during the winter stand down and one only after 250ish hours with eJ. Before you argue they weren't up to the job this is not the case either, I understand one dared to question management that after spending ~£25k on a type rating they needed some hours to feed their family, the answer was.... Good bye! The other was taken by another reputable airline and now seems to be very happy.
Just trying to keep the discussion balanced...
