well lost soul...
that is right, couple of month ago, there was the letter (email) for volunteers.
couple of days ago then the forcing, stating: your assigned base is now XY.
but for someone who does not life close to a base that means:
*20 euros less/hour
*having to do stbys (they plan and fill the gaps with stbys as to get the 5/3)
*paying more as you spent more days abroad
*3 off days per period minus positionning leaves you 1 day at your home...
* and you can not move to the base for good, as you never know when they dont need you anymore...
this is like asking your kid: "do you want some salad?" he says no thanks. then you say: "well you have to eat it anyway"..
like this, they just gonna loose pilots..
