Where do you go is a good point.
I think that the most important motivator is getting a base close to home, followed (closely) by pound notes and then terms and conditions. So if you are with a company that gets you the base that you want that is a big tick (I think anyway).
Further we are all aware that EJ are mopping up, but people are now coming back from assessments with potential start dates of Sept (and beyond), there is no base with them until a month to go to start date and many of their more provincial bases already have people waiting to work there, Liverpool and East Midlands for example.
The traditional charters have now recruited for the summer season, before Mytravel and Thomas Cook merged which will undoubtedly mean fewer jobs, and Jet 2 are now putting people into their hold pool having over recruited. So whilst there are certainly airlines that will willingly interview people from Bacon, and Flybe for that matter, there are not that many at present that can offer immediate starts. This job is better than any real job, I know I tried a few, and I for one am keen that this deal progresses asap so that I can relax a little and keep doing what I love.
