I noticed the advertisement for direct entry FO's for the ATR is stated as 'Expression of Interest' and was posted a month before the cadet advertisement with no date for close of applications. Does that mean the direct entry ad was only made to test the water so to speak to gauge the pool of experience already out there before they plan the cadet recruitment program? Or are VARA also currently recruiting DEFO's as well as cadets? And if so, has anyone been called for interviews as yet?
