Guys - I think we should try and avoid panicking! I have it from a very good source that there will be an update in the next few weeks.
I don't have the Don's inside knowledge but I'm reasonably well connected and there is nothing to suggest that any of the above stuff about no recruitment 'til 2014 is true. Everything I hear points towards courses (Boeing) starting up in the next few months. Obviously that's not concrete but its the best I have.
