OK, cheeky may not be the right word, misleading would be more appropriate.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the 737 at all but some pilots, myself included, prefer a bit of longhaul in their lifestyle. Thomsonfly is a long haul operator and has advertised for Direct Entry Captains. I have the required type ratings and experience and was curious so have recently applied although in light of this information I am no longer interested. If they slot me in for an assessment, I'll turn it down which will have been a waste of my time and theirs that's all. It's hardly a big problem but I can't believe they didn't think of this when they wrote the advert. A friend of mine who works for them certainly noticed the lack of "737" in the ad and was a bit surprised - maybe that was their intention? By the way Max, I did read what the website said and that particular quote was immediately beneath the First Officer section (which did mention the 737) so I don't think it makes it any the less ambiguous.

Oh well, no problem. We all know what the vacancies are now.
