DickPilot,
The reason there are people swimming in the pool post aqc ( possibly earmarked for easy ) is that there is nobody to do base and line training, the training department is stretched to full capacity with the current demand of renewals ( opc, line checks ) and line training the current newbies. People have been finishing type rating and then waiting up to 2 months to do base training and start line training.
So there's no point sending more people into the type ratings just yet with this backlog......however....
I guess that could bode well for guys n gals in the pool to go to other airlines though, don't really know who's recruiting from them at the mo but i'm sure they won't be swimming for long.
