I would not go back even if they offered COS 08.
I don't trust them not to meddle with the terms again and have zero respect for the leadership, government, corporate and flt ops.
Ive flown with some of the occupants on the 3rd floor when they were FO’s and wouldn’t trust some of them to drive a car let alone lead a group of experienced professionals.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. You get one shot only and I was fortunate my “shot” was during the good times for CX/HKG. Most of the South African’s I have met through flying are fine aviators and intelligent men. They know spoilt fruit when they see it and as such the latest drive for the bottom of the barrel will yield the desperate and incompetent.
There are good times are still to be found in aviation , just elsewhere.
Keep looking and do not sell yourself short.
