Yep, and so will non-Arabic pilots if they are no longer needed in the UAE. Same sh!t, different name! Thank you for so far agreeing that UAE = Switzerland!

True, but the non-EU/Swiss pilots were not given the same redundancy package as Swiss/EU pilots. Furthermore, most never even had to be made redundant according to seniority, but were a victim of SwissAir Lines conviniently´forgetting´ to renew their resident permits.
I have, but I will not let this opportunity pass to let everyone on this forum know of how "civilized" Switzerland is compared to the average oil rich Persian Gulf royal dictatorship!
To hear a Swiss talk about how this would never happen in a "western world civilisation" simply makes me sick. There are clear analogies between the UAE case and Switzerland but you obviously do not to see them, either through lack of knowledge or deliberate denial.
Before you start judging other countries in your arrogant manner, perhaps you should start be looking a bit closer to home!
