A330Pilot I don't even know where to start. All the other people I know who have met the CEO personally usually leave his office with no ID badge and a ticket home within 24 hours. This guy has personally interfered with and sabotaged the careers and lives of pilots and flight attendants alike, and some of these people are good friends of mine. I hope you don't ever get caught with the cell phone number of a cabin crew in your phone, or have a local criticize your landing on Twitter.
I'm happy to go back to the USA and earn the "pittance wages" you describe. My life anywhere in the USA on $50K a year will take the shine off this "life of luxury" in an instant.
