bmir are doing mainline flights to save money, not because mainline do not have the capacity. It is grounding airframes and making them availible for charter. It is also proving more profitable than flying a third full airbus on certain flights.

As for recruitment, I would think it on hold still for a while. And there is also the bmir transfer list which hopefully will see pilots migrate to mainline.

As for the sale of bmir, that is not going to happen. If it was being prepared for sale they would not be adding airframes and pilots. The most punctual airline three years running is also a good selling point too.
