Fixed term contracts.
Dogma,
Yes, my understanding is that they are to fill a short term requirement only for summer 2013. I had not thought about summer 2014 and more cadet pilots . As I said if you have a better alternative, go for it.
If however a pilot decided to take one of these positions, you are now a know commodity to the training department and probably no longer a training risk.
That's all I have to say.
Good luck.
