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.
Should the current GM be ‘replaced’, any guesses whether the current recruitment scheme might see the skip? Sounds like the Links are already very short on potential new Skippers and it’s only early days!!
