For those guys looking at this contract with RSP in mind please disregard the absolute rubbish that the contract agencies continue to advertise.

As far as the current situation goes, even if you started the application process today, by the time you actually joined the company you will be a long way off. All Australian bases are full and oversubscribed, I doubt you would even get an Australian base in your first contract, maybe not even second. There is a 10 deep queue for each base with not a lot of movement, and no real look at base expansion at present.

LHR is full with a waiting list, as is AKL. The European 777 bases chop and change a fair bit, I'd be wary of expecting any sort of settled position there.

Currently 50-60 guys coming through the training system and taking another 7 guys each month, a lot of which taking any leftover RSP's and a lot going onto the aforementioned queues.

Just a heads up, as some of the agencies agencies continue to spread rubbish. Commuting contract is the only thing you can be assured of at present, and if you're commuting then HNA's contract is a a good 20% up on CSN.
