There is a strong rumour now in the company that the next 80 guys will be Self-Sponsored pilots and that they will be recruited at some stage next year.
Not strictly true. The 'rumour' is that there will be an easing of the valid type rating and minimum 500 hours on type requirement leading to the employment of both ex-military, self improver and SSP pilots. Not exclusively SSP. I have heard, however, that the company has been talking to the usual FTO suspects.
AFAIK almost all of the current 80 slots are filled with the possibility of it being extended by another 60 or so. All rumour and conjecture of course.
