This farce aside, what I cannot get my head around is why a Company in such rude health is asking experienced guys to fork out for a TR. I mean REALLY? It's not like they can't afford a bond scheme.
It makes me wonder if the whole recruiting experienced guys thing is just too much hassle for them when they can just pick up the CTC bat phone and order up a six pack of cadets.

FANS - we can only talk of the world we live in now and not what may or may not be the case ten years from now. There is not a person on this planet who could say with any certainty what may happen in the airline industry, or indeed any other industry, a decade from now. This is a strange website where people crave 'facts', only to go berserk when someone actually gives them some. What we can say with absolute certainty is that captains at easyJet, including any that are going to be promoted within the next year, will receive salaries in excess of £100k. That is offensive to a number who read PPRuNe as apparently it is boasting - but it is one of life's little facts nonetheless. That is no consolation to the people who have just been treated very shabbily by easyJet and binned out the holding pool, but it is what it is.

ADM - people need to start looking longer term, and not just what things look like today.
When there were cadets very surprised that they needed to pay for TR etc and didn't get the bonding repayments of the earlier cadets, this was because they thought the T&Cs would not change as much as they did.
The same needs to be considered for those looking at the long term at EZY.
You just focusing on the "Now" is not helpful to those that should be thinking longer term.

Eventually captain salaries Will be affected. But EasyJet pilots already voted against a package that would have started a slow erosion of captains T&C's.
The company wanted a reform of loyalty pay for new captains, being based on date of promotion instead of time in company.
This was rejected by a firm majority in the UK despite some other goodies. Captains very much realise that introduction of a B-scale for captains will affect them in the future.
The threat however is in Lisbon, where the company can't find any SFO's who want to accept the appalling T&C's (compared to all the other Easyjet captains around the network) on offer. Which is why the are recruiting DEC into LIS.
Only worldwide economic recovery can stop this rot.

Easyjet website status changed
Hi All,
I've been keeping an eye on the Easyjet website for a while expecting something to change when the spring 2014 future captain recruitment would open again, last night it did.
It's now gone from "recruitment will open soon" to "Future captains wanted" and it then continues onto contact our providers. Now all the first 3 providers are either experienced flexicrew or CTC and Oxfords zero to hero programmes. I have 4500 Hrs and 3000 of those on business jets, so I contacted Parc in Dublin. They advised me they were only expecting to take on Airbus rated people with 500 hours on type for Easyjet and said Easyjet might set up their own process for experienced non TR pilots for this future captain programme.
Was there a link like that last year or does anyone know what the process is for experienced non-TR pilots/recruitment and if indeed there will be one this year.
All the best

Perhaps this is a hard question to answer, but do new recruits ever get placed at LGW, or is this unlikely?
Is there a rough estimate as to how long I'd have to wait to transfer to LGW if based elsewhere? I only ask as I have a place to stay near lGW, so it would be ideal for me.
Thanks for any help.
