Hi,
as an EU citizen myself I wonīt call myself an"EXPAT" if I would work in any country of the EU.
What I personally donīt understand is the continuous bashing of CAL.
Sure,there are better "career" airlines,but not everybody can join the company he likes most.Thatīs the bad reality.
I personally think,If you come from any European Low cost carrier or regional airline,going to CAL will be an improvement.
If I would have a job with well established carriers like BA,Iberia or LH I wouldnīt leave for sure.
