I also noticed they stopped looking for DEP FOs other than for LH fleets since around June. They do post Aspiration for Comand adverts time to time. Now purely speculating on all of the above tells me they have enough people in Hold Pool. They don’t seem to want to fill it up any more for now either. Would be nice to learn some more solid rumours though as it has been a while.
I believe you are correct. Thinking about it I'd say the first of the SPA cadets will be due to come into the sim in the next few months with a larger training footprint than DEPs. Slightly bad timing on my part (not complaining, we were all cadets once). Aspiration for command was on the radar, but would have meant completely uprooting my life to somewhere within a reasonable distance of LGW and the engagement freeze made it significantly less appealing
