OZ airlines
Rabbitwear - just trying to put some balance into the argument about heading home and the fact that it is not that bad in the Gulf ( OK some might disagree with that and it is not all beer and skittles) ... I guess I am lucky as I have the option to head home at almost any time and rejoin the RAAF as they are pretty happy to have ex QFI's back .
Maybe not just yet and if and when I do it will be on about half what I am on now and less tax.. so just trying to say that money is not my primary driver but I dont want to work for organisations like a dog to make other folks rich ( unless I am getting a big share myself).
Tell me how Geoff Dixon can jump up and down about the engineers wanting a 5% rise and yet look at his payrises lately? I know it is not that simple but
don't really see much equity there?
As far as throwing away home on a platter - I left of my own accord to come to the gulf and it was the best move I ever made really. As when I want to head home now I can do it on my terms due to the leaps and bounds of the income stream/property bubble/minimal tax that EK gave me the opportunity to exploit (but still keen to see them throw basings up one day - then how would the nay-sayers react?)
Granted I don't get to vote for how what fees, charges , SALIK etc I get gouged for - but it seems that even if you live in place where you do get to vote ... it doesn't make much difference anyway you still get gouged...so much for democracy eh?
Anyway, just like to point out the pros and cons of living/working in OZ vs the Gulf.
