"onesixty2four:Anyone who touches this must be mentally deficient, desperate and untouched by any other halfway decent airline."
Each place has its shortcomings and no place is perfect.If you think by accepting the terms and conditions one is selling oneself,then everyone has to fly only for BA /lufthansa.
South east asia has its minus points in terms of airline employment but on the other hand would you prefer to fly in Riyadh and have the airline take care of all costs?
These are individual decisions people make based on their lifestyle and requirements.
Sure Vietjet pays for all screening costs and then the circus starts after employment.
So I presume you made the statement about mental deficiency without any facts.
Cause I have seen FAR EAST/middle east and south east.
Nothing is what it seems and some give here ,some take there...in the end there are legendary carriers who still respect the profession like Qantas/BA/Lufthansa and then the rest, you are just a Glorified bus driver.
Times are changing and we need to understand that.
If you feel so strongly about it,why are you not getting into management or at least forcing airline managements worldwide to stop charging POOR Mr.FO to pay for their training?
Criticism and action are two different things
