The rush, flying toothpick, is that in civil aviation the music can stop very suddenly, and the chair that you thought you had to sit on elsewhere has someone else on it and your chair is missing. Also, every day that you prevaricate you are losing money because everyone else pays better, and you are losing seniority in the new outfit, which could be important in the choice for upgrading/new types/redundancy et al. The opportunities for 767 rated, or 777 zero hours pilots will dry up before the jobs for those with more popular types/experience. Sitting on your backside being paid for doing nothing for a year or so may be superficially attractive, but is hardly likely to further your career in the long term, if that worries you. In times past the scrabble for jobs has been very unseemly, many of my colleagues have suffered through it, it is not pleasant, don't wait too long, you might regret it.

With US40bn missing from the Brunei economy, large scale investment in a money pit like RBA is unlikely, nothing will change/improve, conditions will just deteriorate. Don't say that it has come as a surprise will you? Good luck with your future, wherever it is.
