The first beats on the jungle drums by the end of the week. In the meantime I reckon their training department has underestimated how much time and effort they need to bring everyone up to speed (by which I mean ab-initio guys TR'd and line checked (40 sectors), non 73/75 pilots TR'd and line checked (20 sectors), already TR'd guys LPC/OPC'd and line checked (20 sectors) + all their existing flightdeck LPC/OPC's.

It looks as if there will be a serious drain on training captains and TRI's going forward.

I don't know if the CAA imposed the 12% intake of 250hr Oxford bods so as not to dilute the company and make it have too much an emphasis on inexperience. Or if it was a value touted as being manageable. If they did I reckon they may be in the process of renegotiating with them.
