Expats and ME
Johnny
I agree with the hard line against emirates you have to be tough with these people.
In my case I left Canada because I was laid off from a established Canadian airline:
I left Canada as I had no work and two small children, because I had to.
Where I live in the south of Europe the medical care is better and it is warmer
I take offense to the nursing home remark as I know others were forced to leave if wanted to remain as pilots. Yes
Not everyone has cushy AC jobs in Canada and I feel some AC guys are spoilt. and do not know pain, others do.
Would we come back to work for Westjet ?
When I come back to Canada I contribute to the economy. I pay tax and a lot too where I live. If I were to come back in retirement I would also be contributing.
Unfortunately doubt I will fly out of Canada again, cant afford to. Sad about it, yes.
