If you current company was truly on the precipice of administration you may be tempted, but anything less would make it a difficult decision - forking out significant cash for a type rating for an (initial) seasonal contract....
I would think a fair few peeps who are in current flying employment may consider the TR cost prohibitive (and the deal in its current form)...but then again that's just an opinion. To redress the balance, I can also see potential long term benefits if luck goes your way.
