Biscuit Chucker, I understand your comment, and the requirement of "operational demand" having spent some time serving the nation. (And by that I dont mean at McDonalds).
You may have noticed that my post was a reply to a comment from jodiev1980 about people having to fly to the East for interviews, and I was simply answering her question about if there are any MAM people in PER.
I do want to fly. However, 10 hours of flying for half a day of assesment, at a minimum cost of $500, less then 1 days notice of the date/time of interview, and then to have the job possibly offered as a casual in a city far from mortgage and newly settled life, is not a balanced equation.
For a full time job, it would tip the scales back toward the Yes vote. And obviously once in the job, transfer is part of it all, as it was when we deployed overseas on short notice.
