Yeah it’s all taken a bit of a unexpected turn. Still plenty on the inactive list to go back so you wouldn’t expect any external starts before this time next year, especially with no more inactive course starts planned for the year. December and January are dead months for obvious holiday reason so hopeful expectations are they start up the monthly import of inactive early next year, or, some other plans they’re keeping close to the chest (they were suspiciously low Second Officer like minimum requirements for direct entry FO.. for australia anyway)
Definitely a piece of information missing as external recruitment at the moment does not add up
