Thanks Nightsun, I thought it was simply "people" that they wanted. I can certainly understand their requirment for captains.
I think everyone has known for a long time now, that there is an upcoming pilot shortage.
I guess that Scotia and Bristows etc. will have to give early promotion to co-pilots. Failing that, they will have to offer some all important cash to the qualified guys that are leaving.
I don't have a solution but what are they waiting for? A situation where they can't meet contract requirements?
Still don't understand them starting ab-initio training.
