By the end of 2023 very few externals had started leaving the hold file reasonably healthy, likely resulting in the comment about limited boards.
How many of those Pilots will still be available is yet to be seen, given the current demand globally.
Expect we’ll get some more clarity in the coming months, but the last figure I heard was around 50 external hires this year. Personally that sounds a bit low but it’ll be driven by how many Regional Pilots are able to be released.
