Welll mate..Im' been here long enough to reconfirm that there is no option. You just go where they say mate... May be I'm a tool??( oh yeah.. a screwdriver) ...But this is the way it works. Your friends are delusional.....
Sheiky,
Confirmed by the last two new-hires I've met. They were given a choice of fleets and got what they asked for.
You (and NLH, but that's not unusual) are simply factually incorrect here.
No problem, something changed you weren't aware of.
Question is, are you willing to admit you were wrong?
