Yah. I think the smaller operators are harder to keep track of as the "window of opportunity" can sometimes be very narrow and the hiring process isn't as structured as with the larger airlines. I don't know if any of it is related to attrition or if it's all due to fleet expansion. I would imagine that from time to time some of Blink's pilots dream of flying something bigger after awhile. This time around it seemed they were just harvesting candidates for possible hiring later in the spring. I don't know any more than what Blink's website said so if anyone care to comment that would be great.
Flying is a bit like musical chairs; it's fun when the music is playing but it sucks if you don't have a seat when the music stops.
