That is bad news Obi Wan Kirk... 8 copilots from Gulf Air! Well, the good news is that they need 24.
They are going to need a miracle as you said to upgrade the other 16 Oman Air copilots in such a short time. Nonetheless, I think upgrading 24 would have been actually impossible...
Well, I hope they finish them soon so they can relief the roster a bit!
