What you have to realise is that the people/organisations which own airlines be it DHL, FedEx, TCX, BA, TUI, Jet2 et al are companies with shareholders just the same as any other public/private company. The board of directors prime objective is to build shareholder value. Profit for the company so that dividend can be paid and a return on shareholder investment. If that means taking TR pilots over and above cadets, and low hour candidates to shorten the recruitment process and save money then that is exactly what they will do. It's been said many times that airlines want experienced pilots, FO's SFO's and more desirably captains. Not recruits they have to spend money on training. Sad fact of life but there it is!
