This begs the question, where will the new recruits come from with Rex, Q'link, Pelair, etc. trawling a dwindling supply of quality IFR pilots.
Here's an idea, how about they actually go through the list of applications and actually look at them. I can think of at least 8 pilots each exceeding 3000+hrs and meeting all requirements who have never received an offer of an interview even after applying and reapplying for some time. Theres more chance of winning lotto than getting a hold of sandy to convey interest in the company.
