Thanks Galdian,

I'm currently checking out this job through several agencies and I agree, there seems to be a few differences between the contracts offered.
The biverbial carrot dangling over the cliff which some agencies love to use (which P$%%es me off), regarding the A330/A380 conversion is not a factor in my decision making.

I'm also not clear on the 10days off issue,...does anyone know if this is 10 days consecutive ?...and if so, if Skymark will let you do a 20/40 cycle?

Regarding the agencies, I have been a Contract pilot for many years and I can only echo other posts on this issue: the agencies are happy to sign you up and after that the assistance is minimal. In the end they all have two clients to serve and they will always side with the client who pays them, simple.

Good luck to everyone going to the screenings, will be interested to know how you got on.
