Expat COS

ACMS, I accept that things have changed over time and that CX is not the same company with which I enjoyed my time in their employ. What I am not sure of is that the only thing which attracts pilots to join CX is the "Expat package". Many, if not all, the pilots whom I know and with whom I flew in CX initially came to CX because of the opportunity they saw to fly with an expanding company in good aircraft and be well paid, in comparison to where they had been. Most were relatively happy with their lot in the employ of CX. Some, surprisingly often from previously poorly paid backgrounds, came to expect to be treated like "kings". My feelings after reading a lot of the posts here is that life, for some, must be a very miserable existence in CX today. My question to those so unhappy is, and I think it is a fair one, why not pull up stumps and find an employer with whom life would be more fulfilling? Seems pretty simple to me, but there again I am just a silly old 68 year old who would not understand what it is like to do it tough, like bloody hell I don't.
