Guys,
lets just be clear on the facts here as things are getting distorted. The 10 or so fixed term positions are in ADDITION to the 30 PPY positions on offer.
So what is/could be the reasoning behind offering the temp gigs whilst only 18 PPY's in total have been offered? And more importantly, why offer them to the guys who applied for PPY? and to quote the nice young lady from my assessment day..."you may see some fixed term positions advertised later this year but they won't effect you"? I'd like to think that it
really is "we are still working on our establishment requirements for next year", but I fear it may be a cheap trick, stop gap, fill-a-void scenario whilst TOM wait for cheaper cadets for 2014??? But then again I am a conspiracy theorist
