Will look forward to seeing the pay they are offering, I would hazard a guess they will pay way less than the rating cost over that period, it's how their brains work! and
are still making them become contractors. How can you bond a contractor? now the cadets will not have many expenses to claim of tax man leaving them a very large tax bill having to pay ryr's portion of social security, so no advantage to becoming a contractor.
Why also this arbitrary 5k figure, just make it free! That 5k is rent and food for the cadet, They just can't do nothing for free...like when they give us the free winter jackets but charge us £10 postage...it's in their mentality!
The 5-6month wait to start line training is common at the moment, he pipeline has struggled. Many line trainers quiting, weekly adverts for more line trainer positions at all bases...
