In my opinion the issue of the trainning of QR's new joinners being on hold because of the 50 or 60 Spainair guys that recently joinned is just fallacious. Ok the numbers are big, but those guys are already A320 TR, so their trainning will be short (around 4 or 5 sim sessions and 8 flights) and won't take long. At least not as long as the non TR DECs, FO and SFOs that are joinning at the time. What I mean is, when an airline is growing like QR is, the priority will be recruiting first the guys that will be ready for line flying earlier. Also for what I've been told their recruitment department is so overwhelmed that they're unable to answer phones or send emails besides the ones that are supposed (good news or fail/offer of employment/ fleet allocation and DOJ).
Just my opinion, nevertheless...
