Rumour has it that Easyjet will be looking for 250 pilots per year for the next 2 years. There are other threads running on PPRuNe stating that ez have AOG due to crew shortage.
With 120 new aircraft coming online at the rate of 1 per month will ez still be offering this sort of deal in say a years time?
Over simplified supply and demand equations:
Pilots - Type Rating = AOG = no income = no airline
Pilots + Type Rating = aircraft flying = pax in planes = income
