I said there is a lack of BIBBLICAL NUMBER of cadets, not BIBBLICAL LACK of cadets....read carefully, i said that already to you once.
Today another friend of mine initially not selected for sim assessment has been called by Oxford for the FR recruitment drive. He was not selected the last 2 times, now he is magically perfect for them.
This is what i meant, there are not so many good cadets around to select from, because the output of schools lowered in the last 2 years, and there are not "major airlines" cadets unemployed anymore around to recruit like in 2006 or 07.
(AF, AZ, LH)
So now it is either taking SFO and train them as captains soon as they used to do (SFO entered with me in 2006 was captain 6 months later, just after his second sim check with the company) so do not give me the timing issue.
And also, hiring exes will guarantee that they can use their previous record as evidence.
I asked for a document to the chief pilot the other day and he actually used my former crewcode to locate my data.
So it is not behiond reality or wisdom in this situation.
Shoot me.
