What part of the course are you on right now? Would you recommend it?

At the end is there anything else you have to pass to get the job (eg are you risking all this money just to have an interview at the end and be turned down)

Thanks

Galley FM highlights Big Orange are parking some of their MPL cadets who are due to finish this year. Unclear on reasons why. Any truth to the rumour?

Do you have a link to this? I'd love to read more.

There won't be a link for rumours which may or may not be well founded. However it's well known that the EasyJet MPL programme is a conditional offer and this stung a few individuals during COVID. Read the contracts carefully to understand what risk you hold and if in doubt get further advice outside of the forums.

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.
