You need to get over this expat hang up. IC does not have any expats on its payroll. It was not a 2 hour notice. I had warned my friends along time ago not to book AI due to imminent unrest. If striking was that easy, IC would never have a departure. The whole process is long and tedious and all avenues have to exhausted before such a drastic step is taken.
The core issues relate to gross mismanagement which is having a detrimental effect on their paychecks.
Atleast someone is holding these suits accountable. Instead of riling on these guys try to offer some support. For too long have our T&C's been slashed. I for one support the fact that some of us DO have a pair.
Prima donnas? I think not! You should see how management struts their stuff on the tarmac like they are well versed with daily operational intricacies sitting in their ivory towers. These guys are getting what they deserve.
