How did you get on CS?
A friend of mine had a similar situation a couple of years ago. The Desk Officer told him that he should consider how he would feel if the shoe was on the other foot and the RAF wanted to make him redundant with 5 months notice when his aircraft retired (the VC-10).
Ironically that's why he wanted to leave. He lost out on the job but ended up with an A330 type rating on Voyager.
