It's hard to take any warnings on Pprune. We all saw what we wanted to see and then it was too late.
And then it's like coping with grief:
Denial: No, it can't be... they've made a mistake, it'll all be alright, a decent villa will come soon, they can't just change my contract like that, they won't get any more DECs... it's my go next.
Depression: Bugger, it is, they haven't made a mistake, it won't be alright, I won't get a decent villa, they've changed my contract, they've just hired another load of TCAS's mates.
Anger: B*stards!!!
Acceptance: What can I do? There's nowhere else to go at the moment, but it will get better one day, and when it does a chance will come to get out of here... keep the faith.
Good advice ANFA. G-EAOU.
