Hi Banana
You're spot on.
For those of you thinking they will secure you doing pairings US AUH only, don't hold your breath. It will never happen, period.
They have enough guys willing to accept ANYTHING to be strapped on a flight deck again. These guys pretend showing some discontent etc, but they actually don't care.
They have good pensions and are there only for the "Indian adventure" or running away from the fat and boring wives...sorry.
Jet is legitimately taking advantage of the "greed factor" of this kind of people.
Sad.
Of course there a people who badly need the job. But they are the minority.
These professionals will never see any improvement on terms thanks to the first group.
