mmmm.
Let's remember this was a fairly small survey (seven operators). There are a number of general things that don't ring true to me, which is probably due to the sample size and make-up.
Flyingbug - where and how a licence is obtained is important for a number of operators unfortunately.
I'd like to hear those with direct recruitment experience (Scroggs?) give their verdict on these results - IMO they are interesting but not as significant as you suggest Cheevere.
