Exactly. Wonderbus' statement is a bit misleading, the (direct entry) guys currently going through type ratings/line training applied originally in late March last year. Yes it may be a year until there is another batch but in that case these would be recruited this summer with online applications opening in the spring if last year was anything to go by. Anyway that's my positive spin on it as an eager member of the hold pool!
(I'm not saying that's the timetable however, just reflecting what happened in 2013. I don't have any insider info at all, I wish I did!)
