I had heard that they now have a pool of pilots for this year, but pools dry up and droughts happen so things change quickly. Flap 5 sounds like a dinosaur to be ignored, most people I meet seem happy enough, if not they leave and others take their place, simple really. What more opportunity do you want than a company that takes DE captains (only 747 currently) and has just over a year to command for FOs on all fleets.
