Like many others I was hoping they'd be offering permanent full-time posts. I certainly wouldn't expect many people currently working in a permanent job to be interested in their "50% for up to 5 years" positions, however good working for Thomson may be. Very disappointing, and previously good airlines all seem to be striving to compete with others by offering seasonal contracts and reducing Ts&Cs, race to the bottom indeed.
Still, at least they're not going the Flexiscrew route...
Somehow I still think they'll get plenty of applicants.
