FCA

Sammy, despite agreeing that I wouldn't leave any other aviation job to go to FCA, what you are stating is not correct.
They do offer a contract that terminates on the 31st of october, but it can be renewed and made permanent at the end of it.
I got it this way last year and like me 90% of the crews.
Same thing with the new guys this year.
The other 10% either got offered a permanent part year (they started only in september and their finish date was 31st december) or they were very bad in some way!!!

As for the 767, yes they will come from Vietnam, they will be brand new inside though, refurbished like the 767-400 or the more known 777.

FCA have a policy that they don't recruit senior crew externally, becaues they don't need to. If you start with them you'll be a junior again, and no long-haul while you're temporary. You get your 767 conversion when you're made permanent.

Hope it helps!!!
