unprofessional?....unsafe?.....
The only issue here has absolutely nothing to do with being safe or professional at all.There are really no issues in that respect, as far as the 20-odd expats here already are concerned.However, there is a big credibility issue with respect to the honesty of the company regarding contract conditions.You get a contract sent to you before you come, then like magic, a new one is presented to you upon arrival that doesnt resemble the first one.Its all about the pilot supply/demand equation and right now it favours the airlines.What to do?.Its up to you, but if desperate enough, or looking for that first break into jets, etc, then you will consider almost anything wont you?.Things will turn around soon, but a job is a job even with Batavia, and nothing rules you out of the running for desirable jobs more than a CV that screams "...last flight was july 2008..."
