TTT,
It was probably there as well, but it definitely existed where senior pilots were intimidating juniors into not returning to work, and then taking commands o'seas to the detriment of local pilots, and then telling all and sundry that it was only until they could return home to their previous positions.
That was hypocrisy, just as it is hypocrisy in CX now as some accept upgrades whilst 'encouraging' pilots chasing their first airline job not to join CX.
