I have to say I am with LG on this one. There is no way we should accept this and it is typical of the company's duplicitousness and mendacity that they should be trying this out now. However, there is an element of bigotry in some of the posts which speaks volumes. On the face of it (and I hasten to refer to my opening comments) there is very little difference between a base in KL to a base in Chicago, Sydney or London. They are all paid at "regional rates".
Again the company is trying it on. We have to treat this in the manner it deserves and not descend to fellow-professional-bagging. Don't take it personally - that falls straight into their devisive trap. Let the AOA deal with it and let us support their stance when called upon to act.
