There is still a base in Manchester. For pilots, the main issue is that they spent the last year getting everyone up there single fleet rated (330/350) and over the winter there aren’t any 350s based up there, whilst London is still chronically short of 350 drivers. It’s not a super long list for pilots to transfer but it’s at the whim of the company, which will be on the go slow with all the training currency issues.
If applying probably best to assume at least a couple years in London before you’ll get the chance to move.
