Maybe its a little off topic (still Ryan Air and Wizz Air offer some of the best contracts with bases in Poland for example) but I can really not understand why so many people on the forum write stuff like "where even the employees (pilots that is) think it is OK to bend the contracts, avoid taxes, disrespect the labour laws and just fire anybody who would like to form a trade union".
While in reality one of the greatest financial bonuses in the pilot job is that you are: FREE. By that I mean you can have your place of residence almost everywhere in the world and get a decent paying job. What can be greater than being able to move to another country if for example a socialist government (or any other you dislike) get elected or a government that wish to restrict your personal freedom? Its almost like with stock trading the greatest financial and social benefit of the job to live wherever the politics of the nation suit you.
