Rumour has it...3 were planned. 1 has arrived (G-EMBN), 1 knocked on the head and no news yet on the third.
I really don't know about recruitment though. Seems as though BMIR are still a little undercrewed (though the powers that be will tell you otherwise) Everyone is pretty busy, 6 new F/o's about to hit the Line. Haven't heard about the other 2 (?) planned courses though.
Things tend to happen at the last minute (don't they always!) and so if you are in the holding pool and REALLY want to work BMIR then just make sure you keep your options open and your phone on. Have heard that many new recruits (past and present) have been asked to start within a week or so, but it's anybodys guess really just if and/or when.
