Has anyone else heard anything from Thomson about initial training?

no initials at MAN
Those of us who applied for MAN have probably now all received the letter explaining that there will be no initial courses for MAN this summer with Thomsonfly, with the option to remain in the holding pool for 2007 season...
Pool must be pretty full guys... anyone got any arm-bands to lend out... we could be here for a while...

Hi guys
Initial courses at LGW are up and running, cse 3 just finished and going on-line. Courses in newcastle starting next month.
fleet of 737's arriving by the day with a great deal of conversion work taking place.
There is a huge training workload at the moment, shortage of trainers and lots of sales conferences next month for existing crew as a new rostering system is being launched.
hang on in there!

Thomson Fly New Starter
Hello - I'm recently been offered a position with Thomson Fly out of East Midlands. My only major concern is the salary as I would be taking a cut from what I currently earn - what is a realistic take home monthly salary for a new starter out of this base? Any other useful information or advice anyone can offer would be appreciated.
