To be frank I doubt if you find out, "permanent" could be seasonal just rolling from winter to summer etc.. I guess you could ask the same of the Palm Air guys, is a six month contract permanent? Anyway, how about all the 500 hr plus TCX guys coming back on the market.. shall we assume TCX are in the same league! Lets face it, whats more attractive, sitting around moaning or actually flying, hmmm, tough one that!
