shouldn’t be much longer I feel before international flying resumes and borders are opened and AJX starts flying with decent loads.
I suppose that would be the cue for the pilots waiting patiently in holding pool.
AJX may never open that door again. Definitely not anytime soon. No expat is working for AJX any longer. They gave everyone the option of bailing permanently or opting for a recall at sometime in the future. So before any "Captain recruitment programme" would start they would need to offer recall to everyone that wants it. And a recall won't be very quick. It will take at least 6 months for the training to get qualified. Figure maximum 8 pilots per class and a class every other month. Figure at least 150 people who will return and you can see it will be a long time before any off street hiring.
