Wizofoz,
From a previous post:
“But I don’t have a job and I have a mortgage”
Just do as you would if you were to accept the CX job. Sell your house and move to a 700 Sq. foot flat (like one that you would get on a CX S/O housing allowance), only do it in your home country instead. You will be able to find some work and live as comfortably as most people do while you wait for the dust to settle at CX. More importantly you will be able to keep your professional reputation intact. Once you lose it, it’s for life. Someone I know is a Lorenzo Continental Scab from the eighties and he still pays for his mistake.
