All matters involving recruiting (and even, God forbid, redundancies ) will not be decided until a firm trend is shown for 2002 bookings. The worst case could be a reduction in total aircraft numbers and pilots. The best case will be keeping aircraft numbers at present levels and fulfilling job applications to those pilots who are on the 'waiting list'. There are some retiring pilots this year but not a vast number - that could take up some slack in the system for those currently in the Britannia queue.
