Stick Flying
I am not saying ALL expatriates are as such!
In this particular case, locals are a numbered minority and DO NOT have options of seeking work with the degree of freedom available to you or me.
Try to see the other side’s point of view.
That is all.
As for paying for the TR, I understand all your concerns and agree with you on the circumstances.
Let the situation and the circumstances be the elements of the decision.
Please do not confuse this with people that go and buy hours in blocks
That is a completely different matter.
Cheers
