No need to flogg the dead horse. The point being it makes no difference what you bring to the table if you're not welcome at the table.

True. Then the table will be quite bare. And lacking experience, skill and good manners.

Y'all with expat superiority mentality, what do you have more than locals seriously?

disagree. JAL/ ANA excellent. CAAC airline safety record over the last ten years is better than FAA airlines. The last mainland airline crash was what, 2002?

I kindly ask you to refer to your own comment about your so called "expats don't f up" whilst locals do.

The world doesn't revolve around you man.
