EasyJet MPL CAE - Delays? How bad?

heading out later in the year so hopefully its limited disruptions but realistically these delays have bee here a while and they won't magically disappear on good will.

Thanks. I expect it'd be cheaper to find some friends in ground school and share a place for the next stages.

Hi all, I'm an instructor for the Core Phase located at CAE Phoenix. There has obviously been a lot of bad history of the delays at this location for quite some time. That was largely due to management not hiring and training enough instructors to fly as often as Easyjet had required. Since Summer of 2025, things have been rapidly changing. We have added 19 new instructors since about August of 2025. CAE has officially gotten EasyJet cadets out on time for the first time in I'm not even sure how long.

To put in perspective - I began a group of 3 EasyJet EASA cadets in December 2025. They finished Core 1 in 4 weeks, Core 2 in 12, and Core 3 in 1 week. They even have enough time to explore the US for about 2 weeks before they fly back home to Europe. As an example to show how fast you can go if the timing is good - a student that began in the first week of March 2026 is on pace to finish in the first week July 2026! The rest of his class had a 4 week delay due to administrative issues, but is still forecast to complete the last training flight the last week of August 2026, which is still ahead of the 7 months planned per the Training Manual.

Things have changed quite a bit around here, with people in place who seem to truly care about making positive change for students.
