I read a rumour on another BB that easyJet were going to recruit direct entry Captains. Found this on their jobs page..
Future Captains Wanted
As the 4th largest airline in Europe, we're growing at real pace and there are no signs of us slowing down. In fact, with our 3 brand new Crew Bases in Amsterdam, Naples and Porto, these are exciting times for us. Even better opportunities for you! We're looking for talented, experienced and ambitious type-rated Captains and
Co-pilots, who have integrity, energy and a genuine
passion for flying, to join us and be part of the next
generation of easyJet pilots.
The rumour further mentioned some recruitment at LGW - fishing for Monarch crews?
