Generally, expat flying in many locations is a temporary job with a presence for the duration of the contractual period is wishful thinking at best.

At the end of the day, the purpose of the contract pilot is to fulfill a need for an airline during an expansion period until their local talent becomes qualified to assume the duties and responsibilities of said position.

That said, as Jet prepares to park either 4 or 5 baby Boeings, there will an over staffing of at least 20 to 25 captains.

Strictly business... nothing personal.
