And most flights are either empty (shifting planes around to find somewhere to mothball them for a couple of months), or are repatriation flights with very few pax. By "very few" I mean < 20.
I believe arrivals are fuller than departures

Originally posted by ProjectPimp View PostThanks, all, for humouring my frazzled little brain.
I've named my price and will wait and see. I've refused a perm arrangement with TCS and told them I'd want a fixed term contract instead.
Worst case scenario(s): a) They/client say no; b) They/client say yes, I take it, don't like and leave.
Either way, I'm only back to where I started this morning.
Thanks again!

If they refuse then great. You don't have to work with TCS.
If they accept then great. You get paid more than you thought you could get.
Sounds like you win either way.

Is the alternative to be on the bench?
Don't forget that the contract market is decimated. There's hardly any contracts out there and there's tons of competition. You could easily be looking at 6 months on the bench, burning through £50 k of warchest.
You'll go from "we really like you, name your rate" to "stand at the back of the line, the rate is £300 per day inside IR35"
Think long and hard before giving up any contract in this market.

If you're going to be employed directly by TCS, and not by an Umbrella or similar, I'm not sure this would look any different from the outside to you just taking a completely unrelated permie job somewhere you've never worked before.
If the salary is sufficiently silly, I must say I'd strongly consider this.
