LEPs are more than welcomed to apply to air carriers in the Middle East and receive expat benefits, but I am guessing none will, they want to have their cake and eat it too.
Yeah, so can expats if they don't like the package offered by CX, take Mr. AA for example. I guess there ain't any point of having a union afterall if all it looks after is its mates up top while sacrificing ones at the bottom of the scale. Stop whining about people not joining and actually do something to convince them. The recent bypass allowance is a SMALL step towards getting more LEP's to join the AOA and a-holes like this is ruining the progress. The damage done by these guys is far greater than efforts for us LEP-AOA members to pitch at those non-members, don't blame us for not trying. Respect is earned, NOT GIVEN.
