For a "future", which we all know doesn't exist? Answers, please!
And what happens when those foreign carriers have enough national crews trained and no longer need foreigners to crew their a/c ?
Sorry but the grass is not always greener on the other side of the world and one must really think long and hard about making the jump to a foreign carrier.
Sorry for the thread drift .
