Muroch,
You mention an interesting thing....perspective. Have you lived in the Middle East flying the rosters these pilots do whilst facing numerous challenges everyday with your family far from home? If you have, great, you have some insight to share. If not, better to just let these guys beak off. They do have legitimate grievances. The package sold to get bums on seats changes radically once you sign on the dotted line and are committed overseas for a number of years. We all make our choices in life but, honestly, a thread about the not so good things there is "fair enough" in my estimation.
Honestly, I would say this thread is pretty restrained.
