Olbie, I agree with you 100%. As a bystander who has nothing to gain or lose from MEAs hiring policies, I feel it's a real shame that MEA has come down to this.
They're basically screwing hundreds of pilots who have waited and waited to get on. Good going MEA, nice move to acquire the Lebanese Rep.
The least they could do after billing you +150K is to give you a decent salary...
The saga continues (Magnum P.I. Theme song in the background!)
