I hope they don't expect to get cheap(er) expats that way.
Interesting choice of words ex Cathedra. I would have personally asked "I hope they don't expect to get cheap(er) PILOTS that way." Which to be honest is redundant anyway as they already do! I hope you are not insinuating that certain type of people, because of their origins, are better suited to sit in the cockpit of a Cathay jet.
