Same for EVA as cosmiccomet stated for CAL. No new expats, probably ever, they have a ton of cadets waiting to start flying, and another ton in the pipeline waiting for a call out from their job at the 7-Eleven!!
Yes, another year of pay freeze, even though we're making money, hey, if you can do it once, why not do it forever!!!
Yes, perdiem going for turn-around flights. So the paltry $3 an hour we get now is breaking the bank and sending the company to the wall!?!?!
Unfortunately for everyone in both groups, getting rid of expats means getting rid of a backbone. The locals fold like a one dollar bill because the companies have put the fear of god into them and they want to keep their jobs!!
But Captain, you don't understand!!!
