Probably many have applied, but with a lot of experience out there on teh street for grabs, I think easyJet can afford it (at the moment) to recruit F/O's with more experience then 200 hrs. Don't take me wrong, I was taken on with hours like that, but that was before 11/9, things have changed...
From a company's point of view it could make more sense to take on more experienced pilots as they will be able to fill those vacancies in the left hand seat shortly better and quicker then having to wait for a low-hour pilot to build up his/her hours to sufficient standards for command. Just a thought...
