There comes a time (usually on account of cronic fatigue and no familly life) when money takes a backseat to lifestyle. There was a time when the people comming to the Middle East were doing so because of the huge increase in disposable income (and hense savings for retirement or whatever) and an increase in lifestyle. Over the past few years it has not kept up with one, and is now struggling with the other. Jeststar won't be for everyone, but you can bet that there will be enough that have had it with this region and leave. Whether they go to Jetstar or to one of the many others carriers only now starting to hire, it's going to give the operators here yet one more thing to complicate expansion plans. ...As if they don't have enough on their plates already!
For some, just getting out of the sandpit is necessary just to save a marriage or whatever. If it gets the family back to home turf, if even for a short while , untill something better comes along then there will be those who go. It's sad the demise of the industry that has taken place of late. Perhaps once again the cycle will swing back in our favour. I just hope it's soon...
The saying "What comes around goes around" usually applies to those companies with disregard for their employees.
