Just to clear it up, i'd say about 20 guys came to EK from AC and yes it was mostly during the restructuring.
A little on the high side dude. Most took LOA's, some whent back to the military and as my recent memory can't be all that bad, the EK goers numbered about half a dozen. I know many more had applied, some rejected, some declined to go at the last minute. The number I would consider to be more relevant is the numbers being hired in Canada right now. Like you say, good luck to everyone in reaching their goal.
