If your thinking of applying, give it a go and you might be pleasantly surprised!
If not you'll have left any seniority, lifestyle, home and friends back at home and be stuck here for several years.
A great deal of the 'negative nonsense' is posted from bitter experience.
Come here with your eyes wide open
and and see it for what it really is and not the spin that a great deal of money has been put in to create.
There is nothing given here for free:
- The house? Where else are you going to stay?
- Schooling? When there is space it may not be at the school of your choosing and the 'allowance does NOT cover the costs 100%.
- Medical care? You and your family will need it.
- The transport to and from work? You will be in no fit state to drive yourself after you get back from a trip.
As for the 74-8... the 787 delays will have an impact on delivery.
