Doing interviews (at least for captains), initial is 1 hour Teams interview with CP and co-ordinator who's ex VA A330 and 737.
Courses already started, obviously for top of the pyramid and gradually will flow down to line grunts.
Just IMHO logically top pyramid (CASA delegations etc) whomever available from wherever, more choices for Check approvals from different organisations, more choices again for training experience, no reason why any further line positions wouldn't be primarily if not solely VA.
On their plans at present they only need maybe crew for 6 aircraft until easter 2021 so 30 captains and 30 f/o, as always maybe a few extra captains; should demand increase faster than expected their plans will modify.
Best of luck for those playing the game!
