4 contracts is the longest tenure? 12 whole years? Better not raise any objections to the company policy, or you'll probably be sent packing on that next renewal.
You stay in China flying with 300 hour nationals you get to baby sit from the left seat. Enjoy the pollution. I'll raise a family in the best country in the world.
I am not in China, just did one contract there. So nice try...
I have been furloughed from 3 "permanent", union jobs in the States, and was the plug on a fourth round of furloughs. In fact I have only resigned from two of my jobs in aviation. So don't lecture me about the stability and longevity of an aviation career in the States.
What is the definition of "best country"? By what standard are you making that statement?
