To those that think I robbed AsA of their training investment..f@$* them. I gave them 10 years 1 month service and 2 marriages.
In 2000/2001 I worked 300+ hours overtime just to help the unit through airspace transition. Then came more projects, changes, leave embargoes and more requests for overtime (this was coincidently the time that my 2nd wife said uncle).
My daughter on a recent visit over here said that I was much happier and settled, she related stories of how and her sister used to go running to their rooms hiding when I got home from work because I was always so grumpy and angry.
I gave AsA what they wanted and when I could no longer cope with the crap I was left with no choice but to seek O/S employment. I lament leaving my colleagues short handed.
However despite all the problems I face from living and working in the middle east pales when compared to working for the 1st world's 3rd world ANSP (aka AsA).
