Sqwak, I do hope that what the LEPs are doing is not angering the many expats that you were referring to. It does seem that there are always the same and select few on PPrune who are intolerant of those who are merely trying to better their terms of employment. What the LEPs are doing in no way affects the package of the expats and it's beyond my belief that some of you can get so worked up over an issue that bears no consequence to you. I for one will always be supportive of my colleagues regardless of their CoS, package or base when and if a situation arises where they may have the chance to improve their terms.
