For those of you that want to know, here is how
you would do it if you ran an airlines operations department:
You would look whom you can upgrade from within, then you would look to the subsidiary carrier to find out if anyone can be brought on to the jet fleet, if you need still more people you would look at the resume's that arrive daily for experienced and current Pilots for whichever position you need to fill. After you have identified some candidates, you would interview them, then determine who has the best combination of experience and qualification and would fit in to the culture of the operation, once that is done you would offer one-year re-newable contracts to the selected persons.
And that is I how I suspect it will be done.
