Two questions:
Who will leave?
-Aussies work all over the world. They love their country, but even with their superior flying skills they can't find a job in their own country.
-Canadians? Going home to what?
-South Africans are to scared to live in their own country.
-Europeans? That marked is in free fall except for Loco. A few maybe.
-The third world guys are in DXB heaven and not going anywhere.
-That leaves the big question mark: Americans. The majors are saying come home. Salaries are on the rise, but it must be really hard to give up that WB command to go home to some right seat dinky toy.
Where will they leave to?
Home? Nah.
So it is basically China or Korean.
Korean has been there a long time, so no change.
China is not really an option if you have a family, no matter how much money they wave around.
China Southern and home base. Sounds good, and some will bite, but it will not be that many. Besides, the whole project seems a bit uncertain. Sorry Sir, you just have to do a year or so in lovely, unpolluted China first.
The Americans. Everybody is waiting for you to decide.
