True. In fact, it matters little what the bidline is other than the footprint itself. It's just a fact of life that any given bidline will most likely change before you actually step out the front door. Other than DHL flying that is. Bottom line: Don't decide to fly here or not to fly here on the ability to live overseas. If you like the kind of flying we do then by all means come and join us! If not, then it would be better not to. Those of you who have been following this thread for some time know the mantra well that: "Change is constant". It's a mistake to plan your future enjoyment here on anything else other than liking the adventure of walking out your door not knowing precisely where on the planet you will end up. Some folks do indeed live overseas but for the most part it's on them to get to a gateway city in the U.S. for their assigned pairing. Planning on anything above that is not a good idea.
