The recruitment numbers change here all the time.
At my management wash-up meeting the number given by training head - was 250ish new hires plus an large influx of local cadets. Not sure how many that would be.
Upgrade planning for 2015 - went from 40 in August to 280 on the 777. However have now heard that the '70' that were on their way to 380 will be put on hold after Jan - as would leave t7 too short.
Anything over a week old is just that - old news.
