Are they doing something rare for most operators in Aus, and trying to think ahead and plan for a possible short term boom, but not backing it up by being unprepared for how to actually insert any selected (non DE) candidates into the system in a timely manner. They need to be trained, checked to line etc and the current system can only do 10-15 candidates over 6 weeks at a time as far as I know (UNSW was not approved yet with the last news I heard- has that changed?) and only FTA are doing it?
I see the second half of this year there being a lot of movement, but there is a massive queue of experienced guys and gals waiting and ready to go due to the stagnancy over the last few years.
Still , like many idiotic pilots, and despite plenty of evidence (which I ignore) to the contrary I'm positive about the future..
