In my first post I stated that my airline does not provide them, that is what I was told by some of my new expat colleagues.
It now appears that perhaps they do but getting information on this has proved difficult in the first few days of employment as I don't speak the language and don't yet know my way around.
I hope to resolve this issue in the coming week.
I asked for the info in good faith with no intention of using it in an unprofessional manner but rather to have it as an emergency backup. PIC authority in an emergency and so on.
I continue to explore the issue and again thank the positive posters for their guidance.
I do feel insulted by some of the posts. I have been flying for 30 years with >13000hrs jet. I am not playing a virtual game. So think before you post such comments because they are insulting.
However it is possible that the comments were just a wind up so for that reason I will not look at or think about this thread again.
