Availability
Fortunately for Jet there are many cheaply available retirees, living on fat pensions, eager to give anything to get strapped on a flight deck again.
They don't care if they need to pay for their type rating, if it's 6 x 2, 20 x 1, or about family. They just want to make some extra cash. That's all.
At least 90% of the more recently contracted drivers are from this group.
