Bye Forever
The Scottish Lad has obviously hit a sore nerve. I've been monitoring the last couple of threads and I have to say that it seems that TRINIFLYER may be a new comer to the wonderful world of aviation.
He/she, more likely she, really is clueless to the fact that when someone leaves their family/home to come over to work, they need to be compensated in some way. Expats do have lives and families that they leave behind and separation is difficult, but you would not know that as copilots like yourself have never had to leave MOMMY AND DADDY behind. It's quite normal to expect to pay expats a salary that would make it worth their while. Face it, without EXPATS, you would not have the manpower to keep those contracts, or benifit from their experience. 150 hrs on a Robinson isn't experience by any strech of the imagination. So I suggest that you and all others like yourself SHUT it until you've been thru a war/conflict, survived enemy fire and paid your dues........
