good post GMDS...
unfortunately these infants like to interfere with your private life. So I couldn't take it any longer and headed back to the EU environment. For me certainly a good choice. It's amazing how it feels to work for a company that is not run by infantile psychos.
Currently there are plenty of jobs in the western world. But the cadet/flight schools are again training fresh pilots at full steam. So I guess anybody who came to the conclusion that an expat life won't be it forever might have a better chance for a job in the civilized world now than in 3 years from now...
...ME, FE, EU, US...life is all about choices. Good luck!
