As commented in other posts, the recruitment was carried out for PPY jobs at various bases. These are permanent positions. I was supposed to go to Luton to conduct a recruitment day recently, but it was cancelled at the last minute...don't know why. With regard to the other offer of temporary contracts, these are over and above the requirement for permanent contracts and relate to an extra aircrafts worth of work out of Leeds for next summer. Originally this was going to be operated by another operator but has now been brought in house. Until such time as the Company decide whether this will continue beyond next summer they are planning to use contract pilots for this summer only. Other additional flying has been secured out of Edinburgh, and this will be operated by a sister airline Sunwing (Canadian) which is part of the TUI group. We currently send pilots and aircraft out to Canada in our quieter winter season which is their peak time, and they then have a reciprocal arrangement in our busy summer season when they are quiet in Canada. In the past they have operated out of Ireland, but for next summer will crew this programme out of Edinburgh.
