Of the 8 that ended up on my 330 course last year - 2 were JQ 320 FOs and 2 were Dash 8 captains.... exactly a 50% representation from the group.
Even if its a small sample of the 250+ recently recruited I'd say this is quite a good representation. Interestingly 2 from each group company.
It is my understanding that once a group pilot has been offered a position on the hold file, even if mainline wants them last week it's up to their current employer to release them to take up the position. This could be leading to some of the delays for Qlink pilots mentioned in previous posts.
Also for what its worth when I'm meeting new guys out on line most of them are surprised I'm not "off the dash". This leads me to believe Qlink pilots have been largely represented in recent recruitment.
