If you've been offered a MAN base you've a good chance of being kept on as they are very busy with all the scheduled flights which operate throughout the winter. A freind of mine who's MAN based, says they are busy and short crewed at the moment. She's a no.1 and is regularly called out to operate as a junior.
They are doing some long haul for the summer also. A good company to work for, used to have some great nights with the MAN based crews in Bahrain
