Cheers mate
I worked for the big boys and left in 2007.
Didn't like BA was not the airline for me, too big! As you said ya get a feel for the airline as soon as you start.
I don't know much about how charter airlines operate their temp contracts.
Is there a chance you clould get kept on after your first season at LGW with ZB???
I'm on my jet2.com course now. ZB called me 2 days ago to offer me a course on the 15th May!
