Recruitment has paused because of a delay of aircraft that were due to arrive this year. Half that issue is due to P&W engine parts specifically for the Challenger 650 deliveries that were due, and the other half because of a slow down in aircraft sales, so some aircraft have been delayed. Because of this, a planned new INDOC of new joiners that was pencilled in for September has been postponed, this decision was made in January. Because of that, upgrades for this year didnt happen, after having upgraded up 80 captains in the last 3 years.
I would imagine the ball will start rolling again from next year for both.
