Well who’s talking rubbish now? Jan 2020 they were looking for 100 with further needed summer 2020. The direct entry criteria had no hours requirement only that you held a current CPL / IR and medical. Applicants varied from recently graduated modular/integrated students through to 787 Captains, with no preference over one another. The TR was bonded with a reduced salary for two years - 65K going to 85K after the bond. You also get something called a contract of employment before you begin, strange that huh?
Cadets with no flying experience are the 15 you talk about and they were fully funded by the Airline.
I do feel for you though... O’leary is really making you work hard for those coins these days huh? Do you have to pay for your internet connection by the hour?
