I don't think that's entirely true. I've been told you can join the Flex schedule for 4 months at a time. Once you join the Flex schedule though you're locked into it for at least that long. If you chose to go back to 8/6 or 15/13 you have to contact crew planning to get reinstalled into the fixed schedule. Everyone I've talked to though that's on the flex has stayed there, so I don't know what that looks like.
