pilotbaba...all is not what it seems with these contracts. Everything looks good on paper HOWEVER, a lot changes on the ground once you are there. Are you flying at any of these places? Have you lived in India or China? Even as single expat that is tough going. T&C's change at a moments notice....bonuses are suspect...completion...hmmmm probably will not have to honor that as will likely layoff before needing to pay that one up. Sorry but you are giving a rosy picture to an industry that is completely slaughtering this professsion. It is a race to the bottom at the moment at most airlines. Costs go up and the first cost centre that management attack are the highest salaries (excluding themselves of course).
If there was a decent (medium term) contract out there that offered very good compensation and a reliable commuting contract from a home base in Europe or N.A. there would be absolutely no shortage at this level. I can think of dozens of guys from the Middle East that would jump ship yesterday. However, this contract does not exist at the moment.
