I fly for TC.
I asked the Captain in charge of recruitment about 3 weeks ago when we would be recruiting again.
From 1st August onwards, people should monitor
www.thomascookpilots.com very closely.
All applications are online now.
As for a career airline, well I don't know.... some people love it, some hate it.
A lot of disruption this summer and in fairness, the company is very cautious and not dynamic in the slightest.
If you join now, you will be waiting a MINIMUM of 8 years for a command, and I think it will be more like 10 + years.
I have been in 5 years. I am 100 places or so away from command and only 60 places from the bottom of the seniority list.
Draw your own conclusions.
