I passed the selection recently and was told that all the courses are full for this year and they still have a small/medium sized Hold Pool of pilots. They said that nothing more would be known until the merger with First Choice is complete in October. Talking to some friends who are Thomsonfly Captains there seems no prospect of more slots this year, in fact redundancies are being rumoured. I suggest while you remain in the hold pool look elsewhere if you need a job this year.
