Kotakota, well said. I think I said much the same, earlier. A for expats. I agree wholeheartedly. Airlines could and should make it clear at the selection stage. SIA did for me. At the Board , final interview, I was told that I could expect an offer of employment upon my return home. I was also told " Look, do us a favour. We would like you to come here & fly our planes. We do not want you hanging around the Offices on your days off. We do not want you offering us help in the Training Dept. We do not want you coming into the Offices and telling us how you can help improve things". I was tempted to reply..." Wow, anything else ?". But I actually liked the honesty. Omanair should do the same. If I had ANY talent for the CEO job, I would apply. Having my hands tied, towing someone elses line for 50k a month........sounds good. Safe & happy new year everyone.
