Lots of the new hires have plenty of turboprop time or time on smaller jets. Some have been Capt previously. Others are out of GA with no multi crew experience.
Most turn up with a good attitude and are keen to learn, while others turn up thinking they’ve done it all and have learned everything before joining.
