The FO I'm talking about quit without notice.
So obviously not you.
I'm sure you're aware numerous pilots there have done same because they felt absolutely no obligation to an employer who abused them.
Or maybe they were just all lesser men than you, eh?
Frankly your post reeks of racism - you infer that 'the expats' should shut their mouths and kowtow, like who?
HKA is probably 75% expat by the way.
That's a lot of kowtowing.
The management just had enough and was hoping for a break and should have waited for something better that surely would have come along.
Revealing language for any prospective new-joiners. If you don't kowtow they lie in wait to get you.
And the 'break' you refer to them waiting for could be a broken aircraft and broken bodies.
You've condemned them more eloquently than I ever could.
