Nice post.
I'm in the BA hold pool but not sure any of us will ever get a call. I'd come to Easy as a DEC if I didn't have to pay for the type rating?! How is it Easy charge for this still yet Ryanair don't. Granted in Ryanair you're bonded for 5 years and have £5k less salary per year for those 5 years to pay for it, but at least you don't have to shell out the money yourself upfront.
Wish Easy would consider something similar.
