From 1988-2001, Canada 3000 pilots only flew C-reg'd aircraft in the UK with Air 2000/First Choice and one season with Flying Colors. They never brought in UK pilots to fly aircraft in Canada during the winter months.
When Royal signed a deal with Signature (1996?) they had UK pilots flying in Canada and Royal pilots spent time in the UK during the summer season. SSV continued this seasonal exchange with AirTours/MyTravel and also with First Choice when SSV inherited the Signature flying after C3 failed in 2001.
I have been told that Jazz does not intend to import pilots from the UK during the winter season.
