In a failing city where investments have dropped by 50% and cost of living has more than doubled, the lies that need to be told by the company and the government are of enormous proportion to encourage people to come. I can assure you that some junior first officers have increased their seniority positions by over 200 on the seniority list of the stated 2200 or so pilots, not wishing to insult your intelligence but thats not 2%. 1 in 10 leave here pretty soon after coming and it can only get worse. The commitment required to come here is H U G E, its not your country, not your familys country and there are costs to living here that you will take from your family to pay your salary check. The aircraft are nice and shiny and widebody, that is it, thats the main (probably 0nly) attraction. Sell your family's welfare for the chance to fly the big shiny jet. Without a doubt, there is not 1 pilot here who is expat who doesn't have some reservation about joining and who cant ultimately wait until the day they get out of here.

As per very very many previous posts, you have been warned!
