A couple of drawbacks - Many of the the FTRS posts/contracts are awarded against a specific post, so, if the post is canx then the system only has to give a specific period of notice (game over). Also, if a FTRS post is moved and you are not prepared to move with it, then again the system is not obliged to give you another job, and you will have to apply for another post with everyone else.
From a manning/command perspective, the notice period which has/can be given by the individual is also a lot less. Therefore, if an individual decides they no longer wish to continue, then the command chain has to go through the entire rigmarole of advertising and interviewing to find a replacement.
