I reckon it could go either way if I'm to be honest. A couple of years back there was a three-part series about BA of which a part of the third episode focused on the FPP. When the training cost of £84k was mentioned a lot of people on non-aviation forums thought it was hugely expensive and that's with an airline providing a guarantee.

Easyjet's three-part series will likely attract a fair bit of attention from the general public and the media and if it's found that they are not providing loan guarantees then I can see them getting a fair bit of flak. Wouldn't be surprised if some of it focused on their female scholarship and we've seen how identity politics has gone down with the public outside of aviation. I doubt I'll watch the series itself but it will be interesting to see the wider reaction to it.
