For all the recruitment, the total number of pilots remains the same. We had 3800. End of COVID 2410. Currently 2410.

SOs coming off CPL course doing baggage handling and check-in at the airport. Existing SOs might be able to transfer to Express. Too many SOs, not enough Capt and Relief Command to crew flights which would need a SO.

Command courses over 4 years out of seniority.

SFOs who took sick leave bypassed for command for a year - lack of resilience (a great bit of intimidation and a really safe bit of management).
