Marooned
That's a lot closer to the truth in my view, I've been doing quite a few LOS sims of late and find I've been putting quite a few hrs of my own work into it because the material provided by the company is totally inadequate.
The transport allowance is a joke, why you're not picked up as normal is beyond me.
As for TRE, great if you want to be in DXB in the BOX! and not fly any decent routes, if you look at the bidding each month flights for TRE's are so restrictive.
TRI is about the best of a bad job in this Airline, won't be doing it for long me thinks.
Good luck with your decision Gotyou.
