I might have been mistaken about the requirements, and I cannot find them on the webpage any more.
A few weeks ago I received a mail from the company(and yes, I have a copy ;-), asking us to forward our recommendations of friends and former colleques. I did recommend two, and they both were called for screening, but that could be a coincidense since both are very experienced.
But I agree, reqruitement seems difficult these days, to the advantage for everybody with a license to fly.
