Because the proverbial wheels have fallen off the recruitment wagon, you know, a few DEC's coming, few F/O's. They are amending the "policy" not changing it, oh no that would be to admit they screwed it up in the first place. Thats AAR for you!
Now, they changed the DEC requirements for new entries, so voila, loads of guys already here with the required experience on the Bus and 777. Its totally wrong that these guys have been delayed on their Bus upgrades, why can't they do a transition to the 777???!!! No rhyme or reason is there. Still, better that we have internal placement of guys across to the 777 LHS than external, not that any want to come anyhow!
Total crap mismanagement IMO.
