Aussie027: Skippers do still have some training Captains on the Bras and Dash that for one reason or another will probably never leave. Training is slow as it always has been and therefore even though they need more pilots, recruitment is slow too.
Livinthedream320: Well said. I've seen it happen to someone myself. Quite ridiculous I agree.
bigbrother: I didn't think Skippers had recently recruited any overseas pilots (at least over the last few years) that weren't already working in Australia. Is that what you're saying or are you meaning airlines in general?
