    The 150 on the panel is a forecast of what they will need between now and 2019 to cover retirements and short falls. If there's an unexpected drop in numbers on top of that then I'm sure they'll recruit if they need to but the only info we have to go on at present is not before 2019

    Could well run an additional campaign for a supplementary panel if needs be, although chances are they don't forcast the need for that given that they could have made the recent panel double the size.

    In saying that you just never know it's all guesswork

    It's very hard to forecast ahead. Fact is DFB wanted a bigger panel. City manager had final call and granted 150. There is a window now over the next couple of years were there is gonna be a huge amount of retirements due to a double class that was run in the early 80's who have all done their 30 at this stage and have the option of going or staying depending on their age.

    The 2nd class will be in January, there will be the next batch of controllers included in that class as well so I could see them calling from 50 to either 90 or 100 on the panel.

    With an educated guess I'd say your talking September/October 2017 for the 3rd class. After that anything could happen. You could end up with 10 or 20 lads left from the panel, then you could add another few controllers to that and have a 4th class in 2018.

    But fact is at the moment the job is nearly running down the whole time. With a sub officers panel coming up towards the end of the year on top of retirements there is gonna be a massive hole to fill.

    Sorry Chungwun, what do you mean by this? I read somewhere that there's 850 FFs and 117 operational officers, should there be a lot more?

    When you've rolled out 1000 lengths of hose, made down 500 ladders, ironed 4 months worth of uniforms and used dozens of B.A. cylinders.

    Don't forget the sore knees, backs, arms and whatever else you're having.
