Hey Mike...
I was on the Intranet a couple of days a go and someone asked this same question - Thomas Cook Tour Operations do not have the capacity to warrant an AC from EMA...
I was told in my interview that there would be NO chance of been kept on after the first season - lol at least they were honest. I have a friend who lives near to EMA and has been flying for 5 summers now at EMA and has not had a sniff of perm so she has now transferred to us at BHX for this summer...
Is a possibility that the flying will start in March next year nothing is confirmed yet - but if you wanna trey get applying - first to be interviewed will be on first training courses...
If im honest tho - at BHX in the winter the rostas have hardly any flights in winter maybe 3-4 max tonnes of stand by's so the money is a bit pants - I however went to work for Thomas Cook retail and got continuous service and also all my staff discounts so i had the best of both worlds and i earned more than the crew in the winter...
EMA is also a lovely base with great crew and a good morale they fly on the a320 and have 4 or maybe 5 crew on it....
Hope that helps a bit
