Your handle says it all, (From Outer Space), really what planet ARE you from??
‘The short answer to promotion for expats is ''no''
The Company is looking away from the expats and promoting locals.’
The six guys currently on command courses, all expats. Out of the other six guys promoted within the past year, three were expats. I believe that that equates to 75% of the commands available over the past year (9 out of 12) going to expats.
“Only when you have 10K plus hours would you be considered for promotion”
Bull also; a number of the current command course participants have just cracked the 5,000 hr barrier.
“but then you wouldn't still be there then anyway”
By that I assume that you have already made the “right” decision, sent your CV off and are now glad you made the move. I’m sure others are too.
If you want to be controversial try a different angle & try and get the facts right first.
