Maybe a syndical view but I bet there was no spreadsheet error, but in order to encourage crew from FR they couldn't use seasonal contacts. So instead knowing full well they would lay of guys over the winter forfilled recruitment figs for the summer.
Would anyone have left FR if the offer was a 9 month on 3 month off contract?
Further this with employment law in Norway where they can only use contractors for short periods without being made perm. And the fact the 2 year timeframe will start again on these guys getting perm if they are to cone back in March.
Personally I think there's too many positives for NAS for this not yo be a calculatated move.
I really do hope people stear clear of this company that's just achieved the Race-To-The-Bottom cup.
