Interesting post number 78 on the previous page.
The high ground gets a bit shaky when you fire off a complaint reporting the thread less than 30 minutes later. No problem for everyone at the Towers - we'd bought loads of popcorn several days ago.

And still no-one comes on here, excited to claim they were successful!
I'm amazed at the quite frankly naive comments supporting C&M! I guess the desperate will cling to anything!
Thankfully, and lets hope, we've seen his last posting!

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

I'm not being funny, but would TOM , part of Tui, a giant international travel empire really use a tiny recruitment agency staffed by this aggressive wannabe pilot and his missus , really ?
Yeah, HON is right - they'd be 250hr guys fighting each other to get on here and tell us how they would be flying an airliner soon...

What a fascinating thread!
A "major UK charter airline" that flies the NG and offers time in Canada, that isn't Thomson
A person who claims to work for the agency involved coming on to a tawdry on-line chat room to insult and threaten anyone who expresses any reasonable level of scepticism.
50+ alleged successful candidates all keeping completely quiet about what is, in this day and age, an unbelievably good job offer.
And the whole process veiled in total secrecy.
I'm also enjoying the popcorn, but itching for the curtain to this intriguing drama to find out the final twist in the plot!

it can only be for Sunwings with the UK part of he contract doing the recipracol agreement for TOM?
Yeo obviously knows something we all don't
Assuming this is a real offer which I'm beginning to doubt now! There's a reason the core information was kept a secret.....

I hope I'm wrong I really do!
Secrecy could well be to quell down those joining on a 70% and fixed term contract, or am I just paranoid?
It's just everything points to Thomson and TUI!

Whether or not you agree if this is indeed too good to be true, forgive my ignorance but I struggle to see how or why the recruitment agency would advertise a bogus job?
I know in the normal world of recruitment it happens, in order to generate a load of CV's and potential candidates for other jobs, but surely any aviation recruitment agency is swamped with CV's from low hours pilots as it is!
If the aim is to dupe people into paying for a sim check for a non existent job, which is of course ultimately fraud, it seems a pretty big risk to be taking for what would be a relatively small sum of money?
Happy to be enlightened, of course...!

This is fun!!!! So, we have our first potential candidate to come forward in _Rhys. I don't suppose for one moment he/she will divulge anymore?!?
I'm with all the sceptics: too good to be true or complete scam! Coupled with C&M posting which just about killed his/it's credibility...as this is the industry I work in, I'd be very happy to be proved wrong...
TOM made me redundant in 2010, I'd be very disappointed if they've come to this...

Why all the fuss?
I don't see what all the fuss is about?
If you have been selected to take the Tech exam then well done.
If not then get off you high horses and apply somewhere else, to be honest it seems like the majority of you would rather just slate anything than say nothing. Boo Hoo that you didn't get it, or don' t have a job at all.
The company must have sorted the license issue otherwise UK pilots wouldn't be able to work in Canada - do you really think they would have overlooked this fairly important detail?
And as for those taking the tech exam, do you really feel that they have time to come on here and quell the rumours - they are probably studying their asses off to get the chance to interview for the best job opportunity this side of the millennium.

Hmmm, suspicious happy man .One post and it's a pro C and M rant...
I think you'll find us experienced employed pilots are the ones doing the warning here.
52 successful candidates.....not one on pprune. Utter bull.
If you think this is the best job opp , you have been sniffing glue which would cancel your medical I feel.
I'm sure the mods have the tech to trace your IP just to make certain.

Again, someone wet behind the ears telling experienced guys how its ment to be done, love it. And on that note most of these agency workers are in their 20's and haven't got a clue about the industry.
