I understand that at a recent dinner with Training Captains and Senior Management (Chairman, CEO, DFO etc) there was significant discussion about flexicrew. I also understand the a number of the Training Captains were overtly supportive of the cadets and their difficulties. What the company really want is 'flexibility' as opposed to 'flexicrew'. What that boils down to is a range of permanent contracts, some of which will offer no fixed-pattern roster. Worse fates to befall you, particularly as there will be opportunities to escape onto better contracts as you as advance up the greasy pole. Standby for the revelations from Project Merlin.
