Passing through BAFTs "braincrank" last week and the grapevine talked about 100 recruits required this year due to the exact reasons stated above in this thread. Thought it was a wind up at the time - could still be I guess, but it sort of makes sense.
I don't know the source of KERDUNKER, but I understood it came out of a team brief.
Perhaps someone senior in BA wholeheartedy deny the rumour otherwise I guess it must be taken seriously.
All the best to those 100 who win the lottery !!!
