He still had to pay $40k for the 'privilege' of working for this new company.
No he didn't, I'll bet my left nut that nobody
made him pay this.
Worse still, he must take a pay cut and be based overseas (you guess the airline).
He
did not have to take a pay cut and I'll bet there was no-one knocking at his door in the middle of the night forcing him to re-locate overseas.
Airlines do not give a rats about deployments or overseas experience anymore, they just want bums on seats and minimal liability.
That's right and looky here, they just got a bum on a seat on
their terms
