Does anyone know or heard of the term 'outstation staff' mean? Outstation staff may be considered for hiring.

I used to fly out of an outstation (airline terminology) which was recently closed and their personnel were offered lateral transfers within the system. An outstation, in airline parlance, is a facility with thin service and often is EAS (essential air service) which is subsidized by the government.

 

That's the only time I've seen that word.

 

To describe similar facilities in oil services, I recall we used the word 'outpost' or something similar, but not outstation.

It is a term for staff or personnel to be rotated amongst different locations as workloads demand. I hire many as a troubleshooter for large corporations.

It probably depends upon both the country (i.e. use of language) and the particular industry (i.e. industry-specific terms).
