Plus many who go through the application process, and then walk away when they get offered a take-it-or-leave it sketchy base on a local contract...
You’d have thought the 100 or so “contractors” they got rid of would have first dibs on any spots available. Considering they were only let go due to being expensive, and providing they are willing to accept any base and a local contract. The other hundred or so “undesirables” were dismissed for a reason, so I can’t see them being taken back on.
There must be a fair few folk who had their March to June start dates postponed too. I know people who were in the middle of TRs which were postponed, yet to resume.
All this makes me think that assessments will be very lucky to be had before Christmas.
