For those who are playing everything on one card, I dont think you have to press the panic button or jump into the abyss yet.
A few days ago, Jmodel was telling something completely different. I believe Triple seven meant no more interviews, instead of no hiring, until next summer, which would make complete sense... finally... with a pool of the size of a lake.
With quite a few pilots leaving every month for whatever the reason, no hiring for the next seven months is just crap. Moreover, QR is getting four more shiny airframes just next months, then more in the next half year, and they need people to be ready at latest by next summer when (if) NDIA opens.
So, keep calm and carry on. This is a rumour network after all.
