The last ATR commands where also awarded a long way down the list and will start to fall into guys that don't have the hours to upgrade yet, so there may be some quick commands for those that join now if you have all the boxes ticked.
Do not forget there are a lot of junior FO's that are senior to the VARA list but have to wait until every VARA FO has been offered a command before they can bid for one...
So maybe a wee premature to start telling externals not even in the door yet that they can look forward to an ATR command.
