Since you love dictionary definitions so much, let’s look at another one: Insecurity (noun) - uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence. For example: driving a 32-year-old 737 FO to fire up a burner account so they can upload their grading paperwork to prove they are a "good pilot" after losing an argument about a deposit.You can dress this up in whatever Wall Street buzzwords you want. "capital exposure," "protecting liquidity" or "financial strategy." It doesn’t change the basic reality. You are trying to frame the fact that you don’t have €12,500 in cash as some principled, tactical stand against a flag carrier. Playing the "I didn't have mama and papa's money" card is a nice dramatic touch, but it’s completely irrelevant. A lot of us worked multiple jobs to get to the flight deck; you aren't a martyr for having a normal aviation career path. I’m not even out here waving a company flag. The airline is far from perfect, and I'll admit that. But there is a massive difference between having legitimate critiques of a company's bureaucracy and having a meltdown over a standard expat retention mechanic just because you don't actually have the cash on hand.You keep bragging about your 25-minute LCC turnarounds like it makes you Chuck Yeager. Operating an A320 or A321 in this environment is a completely different operation. The airline pays for your type rating, gives you a job on day one, and pays you a €5k+ net salary while you’re sitting in Toulouse collecting per diems. If you think putting down a refundable deposit to secure that is a bad "financial strategy," then by all means, this is not for you.
All the best!
Until now I have not heard a fact from you sir and the goal here is to help for those seeking information and facts not to throw mud
