Until things pick up a bit, I'd be surprised to see new hiring. That said, we have the hajj flying coming up with the holiday season right around the corner, so you never know. Study for the online test in the meantime.
I was scratching my head about that a couple months ago here on the 767, but since then I've been seeing 70-80 hours of CRT this month and last (knock on wood for the remainder of this month's schedule), and it seems like others I've spoken to have been, as well. Hopefully it was just a slow period.
I personally don't care about other credits; I'm perfectly happy sitting R2 and banking CRT all month, but I sat a lot of R1 in May and June.

Cool! Hope that materializes.
