I heard that recruiting may be slowing or even being stopped after Jan 2012?
I doubt it will be stopping any time soon, there was a large influx just recently due to the starting of WA ops, however all those spots should be filled by now. As pilots move on (mostly to Virgin or Cathay) the need to replace them well keep recruitment ticking along. I doubt they would take a large number of trainees in the near future, however they do seem to trickle feed through the system, particularly as they can pull guys out of GA with 2000hrs and some with turbine time.
