Looking at the gant chart backwards from May 2004 they would have to start ringing people for interviews in the next couple of weeks or days. Feb to get prople interviewed, March to get back to them and let the staff resign, 4 weeks notice, march/april will be inductions, training etc lets start flying in May. This includes loaders, checkin ops, flying ops etc etc.
All I know that they ( the inner circle) are working flat out. Would love to be there for the start. What a fantastic ride. Lets not forget the delays with the start date of DJ.
