Yes, the Pelican J's have dunnies. No Hostie. Didn't the Impulse FOs play Hostie on the 1900s?
The GMail account is (obviously? surely.) a strategy to help keep some secrecy about who they actually are. And why would you use a recruitment agency for pilot recruitment? Every effort I have seen along those lines has ended in disaster. Non-specialist reecruitment agencies aren't able to sort out bull**** resumes like an experienced pilot can, and recruitment agencies always seem to put the bull****ters up and bin the good guys (who might not look as good on paper).
Interesting times. Whoever they are, they would (surely?) have maintenance sorted out and an AOC application in, so "somebody" knows "something".
...Surely.
