Ok "JAZ"
You asked for help,I was about to offer some advice..but I tell you what, how about you keep your attitude and I will leave it alone..
And just for you "JAZ" there are many people on this site whom would be very interested in the carrier that just let a large group of expats go for many many reasons.So maybe your info and situation may help/save someone from the clutches of said employer...
And maybe giving people a real insight into how lucky some of us are and to give other guys a break sometimes who need a little help..
We are all in this together ,I get you have probably been shafted one to many times and that irks to say the least but not everyone here is out to shaft you again..
Good luck with your interviews..
