Newbie fibs
Topass737: If you are going to make a statement with figures, percentages and grievances, at least have the courtesy of not fabricating and making it sound ever so bad for expats.
First off, it's up to 30% salary deductions for locals and there were old skippers given early retirement too.
That 80% cut has been helped out by loan repayment deferrals, which I belive Oman air worked it out with local banks, granted there were some teething hiccups, but nonetheless was achieved.
The way it was carried out was far more humane and predictable in the sense all over 60s and all that were in the company less than 2 years.
The second wave went yet again to juniority and pilots with high sickness, warning letters and issues with their flying.
No one is safe as you eloquently put it. The whole world is suffering economically, healthily, mentally etc etc
Being shown the door first, is a natural process of elimination when it comes to non-local staff.
Remember all the extra perks that were given all these decades to non locals.
Balanced? Maybe, maybe not..
Either way, we're all in this crazy ride together.
Support one another, rather than start turning nasty, rude, conceited, hateful and talking crap of one's
previous employer wherever that may be.
