Thanks guys! I know with generation easyJet the programme is meant to open up more opportunities for hopefuls to get a job with the company. The three routes, ie MPL, ATPL with MPL upgrade and tagged ATPL where touted as being the only routes to land a job with the company if you meet their standards, but after speaking to some folk apparently only route 1 will "guarantee" you a job with the company. Can anyone shed some light on this?

That's right - route 1 is the only one where it's a 100% absolute guarantee easyJet will employ you (assuming you don't fail out of it of course).
Route 2 is a funny one...if I get offered route 2, while obviously I'll do my best for the upgrade I will mentally prepare for the fact I may well end up in route 3 and approach it on that basis.
Having said all that I wouldn't turn my nose up at route 3 anyway - the proportion of people from route 3 who do end up getting in with easyJet at the end is very very high.

Just got my phase 3 result from CTC, I'm being offered route 3, happy enough with that considering I found both assessment days fairly difficult Also relieved to have a result after so long lol.

Unfortunately you're right, that's why I'm treating the email I got on Monday with a pinch of salt. Route 3 is a very risky venture and i will need a lot of convincing in order to go ahead with it.

Good morning,
First of all, congratulations to selected people.
I think that if you really want to become a pilot, three routes are good. The third that apparently is the worst give you the posibility to finish with an ATPL license plus A320 rating, valid for all companies.
At this moment I'm waiting to book my interview at Dibden Manor, but unfortunately at this moment no spaces are available.
Regarding the training starting dates, CTC told me by email that at the moment easyJet has start dates with them every month until around March 2017.

Same here, I got my feedback from symbiotics but no hint about how well I did comparatively. Wait and see I guess!
Also what do people know about start dates? I was told they wanted to get the first wave started in March, which to me seems hardly anytime to sort all of the admin etc
