Recently, the company took the time to explain how they work out base requirements and how they manage the transfer requests etc. A very impressive piece of work and transparent communication, in my opinion.
I do believe that (subject to operational requirements) they try to place pilots in their base of choice. Within a year of joining, the majority of my conversion course are now in, or will shortly be in their base of choice. The biggest issue at the moment, is the lack of core positions, and therefore Scandi bases for the Scandi guys & girls. It is my hope that, with permanent employment this year, there might be some way of accommodating more Scandi pilots into the 'core' bases.
