Hey, I seem to recall having my tail feathers shot off in a similar thread a while back.
Expats are EXPATS, we wouldn't be here if you didn't "show us the money"
SIMPLE REALLY.
from the dictionary:
expatriate ( eks-pat-ree-it ) n 1. person living outside his or her native country. - adj. 2. Living outside one's native country. expatriation n.
Now the locals are great guys and deserve all they can get, but at the end of the day they are NOT Expats.
Get it?
Oh, and it's supply and demand that drive the package expats are offered, nothing else. If Cx could fulfill all of their Pilot requirements with 100% locals I would not have been offered my job.............Who knows? in 10 years they might just be able to.............nah.
All of your arguments about expats thinking they are better than locals or that locals are just as deserving as expats are nice but don't mean diddly squat really.
