Actually, a few guys were hired last year but none in the North. They were all offered jobs in Britain.
It's true that most of them got offered a job with Thomson but during this year almost all (if not all of them) got a job at BLX. During 2007 13 or 14 of them is now employed by BLX. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Catans...
Currently 123 pilots on the list.
