Hahahahahahahahaaaa
Someone used the words 'Highland' 'recruit' and 'plan' in the same sentence
Seriously - and no disrespect to Highland, because they are in exactly the same boat as all small turboprop operators in times like these when the big boys are hoovering up all the pilots - but take it from me you'd be a brave man to try and predict what their recruitment situation will be in 9 days let alone 9 months. In a company with less than 20 pilots, then even one or two unexpected resignations can throw the ops department into chaos.
I imagine it's one of the main reasons they are hiring cadets now, because people get hours so slowly up there that even 3 year bonds on the Jetstream doesn't allow direct entry people to move from left to right seat sometimes before their bond is up and they bugger off.
