People have all kinds of reasons for the choices they make. With well over two decades now at CX, I could read a statement like the above and know this individual would never make it here. You come (and stay) because the people are more interesting, you see far different parts of the world, you enjoy flying into SYD or LHR a lot more than Des Moines, the pay with all of the benefits has over an extended period been FAR better than my US flying friends.
At the end of the day, I am here and have been because I would rather walk into a cockpit and spend the next 10-16 hours with someone from Australia or France or the Middle East or South America than with someone from Ohio or Kansas. Far more challenging and interesting.
