Dicegirl,
Are you answering your own questions now? I'm just a bit confused, that's all...
For those of you frustrated about temporary contract, I'll spell out the obvious... We're recruiting only temporary contracts (mainly WW) so if we end up in a spot of bother financially and have to cut back on crew (involuntary), the temps will be the first to go, and as it's a temporary contract, for the legal side of things, it will not put a restriction on recruitment at a later date.
If I were you (on temporary contract), I'd enjoy every minute of it. Save as much money you can. When there's a few months left on your contract, start applying for other jobs, as it's unlikely you'll be kept on (unfortunate as that may be). This will help you avoid a "gap" in your cv as well as lack of funds.
