makes sense to get the own based staff to reduce on overnight hotel costs
I'm pretty sure a house in Rhoose or Barry comes as part of the deal. It always used to when previous Airlines had the contract.
If it's currently crewed by NCL crew theres the additional cost of getting the crew from NCL to MME. With the current expansion I would think they would want to try and recruit local crew in MME and utilise them from MME only without night stops.
It does only appear to be Cabin Crew advertised, not Pilots. Although I do have a feeling there might be more to this.
