Go Detent,
No time scales mentioned, but he said that he'd had a communication saying 426 new pilots were required this year before any leavers are even replaced. I don't know how many will come from CTC but I'm sure enough to empty the pool at some point. Here's hoping!
DragStrut,
That's excllent news for you and the June guys, hopefully the movement will start to gather pace. I hope not to be in the pool for as long as you guys, I go horribly wrinkly and prune like if in water for too long, not pretty!
