Yes, the workload is massive, there's a huge amount to learn, but absolutely. I'm halfway through ground school right now.

At the ground school stage it is no different to any of the other routes, the differences are in the flying stages (MPL is a couple of months shorter, you do less flying, and no CPL & IR exams). If you are Route 1, 2, or 3 you are an easyJet cadet, and there is a job at the end, you will sign a conditional offer of employment before you start. Provided you progress through the course, passing the tests, you will enter employment with easyJet at the end of your training, no hold pool. Route 3 is essentially the same course as whitetail, but you start knowing you already have a job at the end of training.
