Not saying it's wrong or right, what i'm saying is in the past guys that have been frozen have been frozen due to training requirements in the fact that EK couldn't train up fast enough, so it was a training department issue.
Now it appears it is a recruitment issue.
My point being is that the subtle difference is that in the past EK where in the enviable position that they could fill both ranks with qualified applicants when it was required and then left to training to sort out the numbers. At the moment the numbers aren't even coming through the door for training to sort out, and it actually appears that more are filing out the back door than in through the front.
So the fundamentals have changed from the past of why we now require more DECs.
