think you’ll find that trade unions are illegal in all of the middle eastern countries...... everyone knows this when they sign up though..... it’s always a trade off - better money, quicker progression, and a chance to show the ritzy life and travels to folks back home.
everyone has different reasons for being in the Middle East, and for a lot of folks it works, but it has always been clear that those folks who have waited patiently in line at legacy carriers will be looked after much better than those who rolled the quick win dice in the Middle East. That’s not to say there aren’t legacy Carrier guys who are suffering, but strong IR law and strong unions are still a good hundred years away in the desert.
i am truly sorry that your journey has come to an end though and I hope you and everyone else in this terrible situation manages to find a way back into the sky soon!
