I don't want to try and confuse matters and would be very interested to hear from those 'in the know'. However, we were told on the day of our assessment by senior management that the contract type offered to us (permanent or flexicrew) will be dependant on requirements at our chosen base AND performance during selection.
I said I wouldn't accept the 12 month flexicrew contract. Been told I'm in the pool and they'll be in touch with a contract and start date. So we'll see...
