B767PL, you are a bit off the mark I think/hope.
Union has negotiated a deal, after a Base has been open 2 years (HEL will be in 1 yr/AGP in a little less than 2 ) based crew must be offered permanent employment.
For the moment no-one knows exactly what will be offered, we will see in due course.
Current recruitment is mainly for courses starting Aug for LPA base due to open around Oct.
