I am very very sceptical about direct entries anytime soon.
Exactly, company used to be more oriented to train their own cadets, dont forget that not so long time ago, company trained 800, 900, 1000 cadets per year ! (They built robust training department, invested lot of money which need to be earn back) And it was still not enough so they hired direct entries to compensate the growth and experienced guys leaving to legacy, middle east, China etc....Obviously this is not going to happen for next good few years
