Former Flyer
I had two reasons for asking the question when I got the call.
1. I had heard speculation about BY ops not only in here, but from a BY Captain who is a family friend and someone I trust.
I don't see the point of going along for a whole day interview for a 6 month contract and then be told in November adios, that is the situation I am in now, so I don't want to be looking for a job twice in a year, and it is waste of their time interviewing me.
2. I have to take the day off unpaid, so when staring redundancy in the face a days pay can feel like a big loss, plus I would rather spend my little time off within the next month seeking a permanent job.
But hey I didn't get a straight answer so I guess I will go along anyway.
I'm with Viking 9, who I assume is going along also (?) that it is not really cricket if you are trying to recruit the right type of person if you cannot tell them how long the job is going to be for.
If it were permanent, it is the type of job that I would move from my home towm of 29 yrs for, but, how would you feel if you took a 7 yr old and a 5 yr old out of a School they love to be told in 6 months that it thanks and goodbye ???? Me ?? I think I would rather stay put and drive a white van round Brighton till something else came up, and thats a real shame because how can BY possibly attract experienced staff ???
