Especially with 1500 hrs on 320 opens doors to for instance Easyjet, BA or any other bigger airline where you have much better conditions.
Easy and BA have all but given up on recruiting Direct Entry type rated - BA especially have experienced, type rated people in a hold pool, ready to join at pretty much a moments notice, but are recruiting cadets from CTC and oxford instead. Why? because they are willing to be treated like second class citizens, so that at some point in the indeterminate future they "can have much better conditions".
This cadet contract / P2F cancer is everywhere. And I can't help but feel we (as a pilot group) have missed our chance to have the cure.
