It was - now public knowledge that we didn't get enough suitable applicants so trawling the next nearest type.
Nice.
I take it though that these guys applied as 737/757/767 rated pilots back in early October, and then got offered 747 slots? Not that these guys somehow managed to wiggle their way into the 747 recruitment when that opened online?
Sorry if the questions seem a bit simple minded, its just that if there is any way in at the moment without 767/757 rating, I would like to know. I'm still kicking myself for not seeing the closed date shortened when they were looking for 737 pilots...
