Funny old thing, when I joined IAL (now SERCO) in 1977 at the age of 24 and worked in the Middle East we enjoyed the same working conditions as you claim you have today in 2017-18;
o No pay increments
o No yearly bonuses
o No leave for an average 9 months and then NOT when you request it but when the SATCO allowed it.
But it was great fun and we never had;
o Stress (sorry what is this word?)
o Sleepless nights (except when we were partying or the baby woke up)
o Bullying (from the SATCO? Never - they were all one of the lads)
o Intimidation (maybe from the Indian ATC Assistants who wanted to sit in your chair and do the job for you!)
o Living nightmare (come on guys; why you are there?)
As they say: plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose (“the more it changes, the more it's the same thing”).
