Short answer: no.
Longer answer: the training, licencing, legislative (work and residence permit) processes take so long that it's not usually worth it. There have been some pilots in the past who have
come back for a season, but they've spent years working for a company and have built that relationship. Pilots are hired year round, but often we hire and train in the low season so that the pilots are ready for high season, then they take annual leave over the subsequent low seasons.
