So not much has changed in the last five odd years since a whole bunch of f/o's left for Emirates, Etihad etc. Poor old Bunny will never get it, will he?
Feel sorry for the expats still there. TTG boys and girls. The Sandpit is not for everyone, but there are jobs aplenty, and you will at least get a shot at an upgrade.
PS: How long has the longest serving expat f/o been waiting for an upgrade now? Ten or twelve years???
