I thought the deal that the ctc cadets had did not mean handing over 30k for the type rating.
Was it not the case the cadets had completed the sim and were just awaiting base training for the course to be complete.
who paid for this training? was it ctc or easy? if this was the case thats why I would be worried about more cadets coming from the hold pool to replace the first group. once costs have been repaid why would easy give out flying hours worth talking about if they could give it to a new cadet and get the costs back from them so much faster.
what we end up with then is a huge pool of airbus trained, 700 hour flexicrew to join the existing bus pilots with twice the hours.

I would imagine that you could buy an individual swimming pool to put in your back garden for around £30,000?
If so, it would appear that easyJet has now invented a scheme whereby every single hopeful pilot could just as easily buy their own pool in which to swim instead of wasting his/her money trying to swim for just about every other bl**dy airline in the country including BA.

My bad, sorry. read it as contacting.
In šāʾ allāh things will pick up, but in all honesty companies like that one above have served to erode t&c's. I just hope they can sleep at night. It will come back to bite them eventually...

From: On the side of the pitch!
I am a BD pilot who is about to be laid off, I am an experienced A320 pilot who regularly flies to dodgy parts of the world like Kartoum, Tehran and Addis, who got TR sponsored and bonded by Midland 3 years ago. I have to feed my family, and buy my kid shoes every 4 weeks. My company is now exploiting this PTF scheme, whilst us employed guys are getting fired.
However, I and 34 fellow BD pilots are now having to go for the Parc Flexicrew employment at Easy. Not ideal, but it may just keep the bailifs at bay, does this mean that I am now viewed like one of these PTF people? I really hope not, as we really have no choice if we are to stay in the UK. If I left for the sandpit, I don't think I'd ever come back due to my age, and the state of my marriage would suffer. I'm British and wish to live and work in my homeland. Does that sound fair to you?
BTW I will never pay to fly ever, ever....
