Mogley,
You have a point, however it looks to me that the locals accept the DEC and DEFO without complaining as much as expats, the famous saying: What to do?
I suppose that, as being a national, your complaint would be more effective...Anyway what we are saying is that the upgrades are being delayed because of DECs, nothing to do with being local or expat.
Maybe I am wrong but I believe that everybody unhappy with all this changes in the rules and policies should let the managers know about it in a mature and civilised way. If not to change things , for piece of mind. In the end of the day its gonna to be management decision if they want to keep their pilots and I am sure they know how.
