Foreign pilots are most welcome and the opportunities are aplenty. It was a note of caution to those intending to join that terms and conditions have been eroded over the years and the fact that almost 100 local pilots have left says a lot when you consider that most pilots find it difficult to uproot.
Yes, standards are high among the pilots and many acknowledge that . It is the standard of ethics among the managers that all of us question.
We don't want pilots, be they foreign or local, to be cannon fodder. In the community of pilots we support each other and it is only fair to remind those intending to join that the greener pastures may be just an illusion that will vanish when those who call the shots feel they are threatened.
There is a lot of difference between scrapping with each other and a friendly note of caution.
We do understand that uprooting, be it from Malaysia to the desert or Indonesia to the greener pastures, takes a lot of consideration. Shouldn't the pilots be given more information before making such a move?
