newbagr, no one forced you to go to LGW and I think its unfair to say temps should not be offered EF LHR. LGW has recruited many times and I along with many people have never applied as I dont want to be based there. There may be a chance that you can get transferred to LHR but that is not the base where you originally took the job therefore you should not expect all recruitment to stop just cos you are waiting for an xfer.
