We have had a good number of overseas pilot new-hires lately, here at Atlas: CP, Emirates, Qatar, FlyDubai, etc.
Most seem to like it. Some of the EK pilots went back as Captains, keeping their old seniority. I flew w one of the EK guys. He didn't go back, said didn't want a repeat of what happened to him again.
We also have a lot of Australians recently, on the 5 year? visa... some of whom I think were at CP...
If U have any questions, please PM me...
