Fair points but,
apparently, they cannot find enough cadets, infact they are recalling for interview some people that initially they refused because not first pass at ATPL and other reasons. Probably they will hire non rated SFO so they pay Type rating as they use to do, but still they need upgradable FOs and soon. That is the problem, revenue from P2F i do not dispute, but a situation like the one Easyjet endured last summer may loose them 100 million.
For the 25 min turn around it was obviously a joke, but what i meant is that to upgrade someone 3 months after hiring him , the guy must either be an ex, or a captain already.
We will see.
