That leaves easyJet which at first instance sounds good however they are in the process of their largest experienced pilot recruitment campaign and as far as I understand there are no shortage of takers. This seriously limits the amount of places for future CTC guys as eJ will surely continue hiring experienced guys when they can get them for the price of cadets.
They want an equal balance between experienced vs non-experienced. Company is doing very well so enough room left for non exprienced guys / girls.
You are correct in that eJ did originally say that they wanted an equal balance of pilots. That means 125 of the expected 250 positions. Not exactly earth shattering when you consider CTC trains more than 250 cadets a year and maybe even more than 300 now of which only a few are tagged to other airlines.

On top of this some people within eJ claim that in fact 200 of the 250 places will go to experienced guys leaving only 50 cadets for the 2014 line-up.
