Some of you will get "lucky" and end up in DUB, STN or CRL, (still jumping the queue) but TIA, SOF, KRK and WMI are more probable.
With a Malta or DAC contract it's not much of a problem if there is a high crewing ratio as your basic salary will be high enough to compensate for the lack of flying. If you are with a buzz contract you are entirely dependent on flight hours and there is no minimum.
We kinda already expect that, but we are still wondering how they are going to fit 1000 cadets on Buzz this year alone. I think many will skip the line.
