Things seem to be getting very interesting indeed!

Guess the big question is whether it is TOM or not?

It comes down to whether TOM management are willing to bypass those in the hold pool or on a summer contract?
Also the fact that this whole thing is veiled in complete secrecy says to me that whichever airline is doing this knows the moral ramifications of what they are undertaking. Seems strange going for an interview with no idea who it is they are potentially working for!
"Free type rating"- now Thomson deduct money over three years for non type rated guys so perhaps that doesn't add up.
Also combined with the fact that "Carl" is supposedly in the Thomson hold pool seems strange to me if he was indeed recruiting for people to bypass himself. That is unless some sort of offer is on the table once recruitment is done(conjecture at best though)

I think mcbruces guess is also pretty good. However if it was TUI Belgium why on earth are they using an agency when applications are open on their website! Also seems like they require Dutch and French!


Who knows, only time will tell. My money's still on TOM though
