Easyjet MPL price change

[giggitygiggity]

People on the easyjet MPL at CAE are currently paying around £108 thousand. The new pricing is significantly cheaper than that, although I'm not sure when it changed, but I assume with the announcement of the next tranche of recruitment. With ALL accomodation included it is now approx £93k and without is only £78k. That is significantly different to what the current lot are paying. I only ask as I'm currently an easyjet captain who knows someone who has recently started it. Are there plans to reimburse those already on the course as this seems a little unfair?

Prices going down in flight training is pretty novel to me as it only ever seemed to go up when I did it so most were grateful to have paid less than the next generation. I assume either they have shortened/tightened the course or easyjet are covering a portion of the total costs.

Does anyone have any info they could share, PM me if necessary.

It’s always been a desire of the new head of training of easyJet to reduce the cost of training
for new pilots.
I remember reading an email from him about it not long ago.
The plan long term would be to
do type ratings in house for ntr FOs to reduce costs for pilots, but that might take a while due to sim availability.

I don’t think anyone that started before the new price structure came in force has grounds to ask for a refund, unfortunately.

Before long, given their demand for pilots, wouldn't it make sense for them to create a new Hamble and bring ab-initio training in-house?

When I started with Ezy 13 years ago, they paid for everything, and gave salary during training too, from day 1.
I recon this can once again be the case when the demand for pilots will get big enough. The new sim centres and all the in-house training is the key to make this a possibility.

God help aspiring pilots if ‘easy’ management every develop skills in employee retention and start to treat FO’s as valued staff from day one or even at the start of their Generation easyJet programme.
