Expat 101.00
The airlines pay the recruiters, pilots don't. So should be no doubt as to whose allegence the recruiter respects. Same as a whore...expat 101
Choose your representation carefully, and don't buy the statement "pay for your travel and we will reimburse you on arrival". The oldest, scumbag ridden corn cob in the industry.
You have a great deal of pride and respect in your presentation and abilities, however, you are just another whore to most recruiters that are looking for an easy quid, buck, dinar, riyal, peso, or free taco.
