This appears to be an ongoing & constantly updating scenario. A few weeks ago they advertised for 737 crew in CDG. A colleague familiar with the operation doubted that this would happen as there was a chance a contract for the 737 in BGY might end & result in a surplus of Boeing guys rather than a deficit. Seems this may have been the case ? I heard that either the French DGAC or Aeroport de Paris were putting obstacles their way, as they didn't really seem to appreciate the idea of a Lithuanian ACMI operating in their principal airport. Don't think they have ever fully forgotten Flash Airlines, & I imagine any operation accomplished there with Small Planet will be punctuated by daily, very detailed, SAFA inspections.
Think it is fair to say that you will never know where you will be based from 1 year /month to the next, I heard the rumours of very low renumeration were also accurate, but well, it's a job.
