I joined 7 years ago. 12 guys on the type rating and the deal hasn't changed much since. Out of the original twelve five of us are Captains,line training Captains and one TRE all on permanent contracts UK/IRE 100k plus. Three went to Emirates two went to Thomson and two joined BA.
It wasn't the easiest to begin with but it worked out for all twelve one way or the other. There are no fixed term 6 month contracts as previously mentioned. Most of our FOs that have itchy feet at the moment are joining BA Thomson and Norwegian long haul. It is what it is and good luck to them.
