Fair play to you AC, a lot of what you say is true and spot on. Even more important, this is from your perspective and just like opinions we all have different perspectives.
Anyone looking to join here has to take all of the perspectives into account. If you are joining from a 'developing nation' somewhere with poor prospects, crappy airlines, yours is going bust or a country going through spin-cycle, then the airline will seem wonderful (for a while).
If you are joining from a developed country or one with good laws, social behaviours, justice system and civil liberties, then your perspective may be in for a shock.
I used to be very happy here, now I grin and bear it
yes I could leave, but it still suits my purposes for a while longer
