Hey 145, I never said you should be happy- thats what you read into it.
Big pay dollars made US airlines go tits up? hmmm. Well, thats what you want too isn't it? Large pay? So you want the same things we had with the same result.
I wanted to say something like - maybe I will learn to enjoy the shafting as much as you guys do, and stay as long as you have. "Thank you Sir , May I have another" But that would be disrespectful and childish.
What I will say is that, for me and mine, its a better opportunity than was available in the states. When you came here it was probably a better deal then for you as well- hence your choice to come here. How is that any different than me doing the same.
