Of course you know that
thousands is a gross exageration but I would suggest that may be it is the other way around, not enough of them. Also not enough bodies available on the rosters either. When there were even 10000 more the pain would have been a lot less.
With the small numbers available now, when you take out the sick, lame, lazy, special cases such as the staff courses etc etc the pot is pretty empty.
There must be a system though.
How about, as you say, advertise the jobs and you never know, they might even get a number of careerists volunteering.
