Hey Bafanguy,
So far there has been no word of hiring E3s or otherwise slowing at C5. We're supposed to take delivery of another 9 jets this year, taking the fleet up to 41. Then there are options from UA for another 20 jets.
I also heard a rumour that all the JetGo guys that were supposed to be coming over are due to start training soon or are already coming through the system.
WRT training, C5 has the process of dealing with Aussie conversions relatively down pat, so as long as you put the effort in you'll come out of it with some good quals.
As always, I will shamelessly put any interested aussies in touch with a recruiter, because I like those referral bonuses
Edit: while I think of it, the C5 contract is due to be negotiated by years end. While our contract is not very competitive right now, if a decent contract gets up, combined with the CPP, it could mean enough yanks are interested to the point Aussies are cut off. Just more murk in the crystal ball.
