According to rumour, Core vacancies will no longer be offered after the two year agency contract. Outside of Scandi bases, we will all (allegedly) be offered permanent positions with NAS UK, NAS Finland, NAS Spain etc. according to our base. So, if you're a MAD based Captain, that's how you'll remain, no core FO position, no LOA etc.
Good if you're in the right base. Not so good if you want a Scandi base. Hopefully some core positions will be created by any (limited) expansion within those bases.
