Now if you're waiting for firm orders to be made before jumping ship from a "secure" job you'll just start further down the list when you do apply. A group of new hire SOs has already started last month, and more every month now indefinitely. Wait until a confirmed order of new aircraft is made, and you'll be dozens, maybe even hundreds of places further down the list. However if you make an intelligent guess about what's going to happen (ie a lot of recruitment planned from now into the future) you can see they've got plans, and aren't just recruiting people for fun.
