Recruitment has never completely stopped, just flatened out as was expected once the intended level was reached. There are currently 12 FOs under training and I believe another 4 have been hired also. With quite a number of retirements over the next 12 to 18 months plus another 2 AC this year, there will always be a slow level of hiring. Regards SS

How many f/o's hired are over 40 ?.
Genuine question.

George - I'd guess that 75% of the FO's are over 30. Possibly 15% of those would be around or above the 40 mark.

A massive glut of guys in the left seat in their 30's.
