Hello to all.
I have been looking with moderate interest into the conditions at the MEGA airlines of the ME area. Mostly as an informational search for updates.
In all honest truth, it has been challenging to assess the situation in the sand.
Although I do believe that posters have the best of intentions, it is more likely to vent here, rather than praise.
By no means do I think that posters here are unhappy.
After long thread reading I get the impression that the majority are not thrilled to be there.
There are issues with every aspect of the job and lifestyle.
Management, schedules, bidding, check-rides, long hours, housing, contractual breaches, bad driving, etc.
Please can someone give me the positive side?
My intention is to convince myself and family that this would be worthwhile.
A major common attraction of these jobs are the shinny new MEGA JETS. Understandably so.
If one is not so interested in that, what other advantages/benefits would you point out?
If it takes effort to be positive, then I have my answer.
Thank you for any input.
