Some recruitment may occur around Sept this year, however it won't be in the numbers that we have seen previously.
This is due to all pilots now flying more hours per month than before.
I think that if you are not experienced on either B777 or A330/340 with sufficent experinece, your chances this year are going to be slim.
I'm afraid that manegement have cottoned on to the idea that it is cheaper to pay the guys for more flying per month (without the overtime) than it is to recruit (having to pay a basic salary, accommodation and so on)
So if you look at the numbers I gave in another previously the average crew per A/C will go from about 8 to just around 7.
Good luck,
Oz
