I'm in a very similar situation to you. TUI is the only viable option for CWL all the way through the year, but you'd need to establish how long it would take from joining TUI to getting a CWL base, last I looked they were dual basing new pilots in Scandi for the Winter. (may have changed). Working for Smartlynx will probably lead to unstable Winters and I think many on this site might question the wisdom of electing to work for them in the 1st place. Have you considered a LH job on a part time contract? LHR,LGW and MAN are commutable on a once a week basis. NetJets?
