With respect, the core of the issue is this,
Easyjet . The news article shows the bottom price for Easyjet stock at around 1300, as I write it is already down to 1060. The Easyjet board are probably not thinking about recruitment now, they have other concerns having just put out a third quarter profit warning, but I would be surprised if they don't re-examine their plans soon if the price does not recover. If you look at the stock over a longer period some analysts were forecasting a significant correction even a month before Brexit.
