I've been on a draft...surprize. So just to add fuel to the fire -
1. The courses start in July - and the 67 and the EMB are taking most of the intake I am told. RP on 67, F/O on EMB.
2. 800-900 new hires in total is what I am told is going to be the number, which includes natural wastage and retirement coverage. Yep, ACPA rep told me that 600 is the "TARGET", and will also explain the worried looks in training - whether AC hires 600 in less than 12 months is another matter entirely - it'll be chaos
3. Gear door - your time, if it includes good turbine multi is WAY in excess of what they're looking at - remember I mentioned the quiet rumours on "cadet" type schemes, as a contingency...
Right I am going to get some sleep before the draft bell dings in again.
