I am a pilot and not a statician. What I said in my previous post is based on what I have SEEN and based and what I can SEE. As regards command upgrades FR can't get enough captains at the moment.
Practically all of Skyeurope(captains) have arrived I believe, and I heard a good few Globespan(captains) crew are on their way too!
Marketing?
If Ryanair never employed another cadet again and kept the crew as is, do you think I would lose much sleep?
P.S. Most applicants do not get an assessment, and most who do, do not make it past the assessemt phase! Check the Ryanair interview and assessments thread and have a look at Allioths post( near the bottom) Hope it helps to BACK this particualr point up
