Some actually want a command before they retire and some have young families and need that job over there for financial reasons instead of getting paid peanuts for 4 years to work 12 hours day.
Probably need to check yourself before you go quoting bs statistics.
Yes I did my initial training as cadet, but not sure what that has to do with anything as I have friends in all parts of the industry in all parts of the world.
Secondly, I said ‘I think’ 90% of people would choose the A320 job over a Middle East 777 job. It’s an opinion, not a statistic. I was only rebutting wheels_down’s opinion. So no, I won’t be ‘checking’ myself. I couldn’t care less why guys go overseas. All the old Ansett boys that I fly with only went over because of the collapse and are glad to be home.
Flying domestic jets is hardly for ‘peanuts.’ Most narrow body F/Os here at the star are making 160-180k.
It sounds like you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder and that you are either stuck in GA or stuck overseas. You should chill out a bit.
