The issue both had was theft. If your a gringo any property you have belongs to the locals if they can grab it. You will get zero assistance from the police. If you are going to be gone half the month you must live in a compound with private security. Even then budget for new TV's often.
The other issue is taxes. You will owe all US income taxes so make sure you will not get taxed again by the country you live in.

Thanks just made a quick comment to my wife and she is all about it now.
2 flights a day 4 hours each way makes it look like a lga-dfw commute.

Thanks for the insight...not a gringo and neither is my wife we both speak Spanish (both from S. America)

We will go on vacation and see if the beauty of the mountains and the beach and the lifestyle make us think about it in a couple of years maybe do it.

Look at your time card for the reserve guarantee amount. When guarantee reaches 0, you are done.

Buzz, can you punch both of these idiots in the face next time you go into the studio? Unfreakingbelievable..

Malaysia Airlines jet held by terrorists in Pakistan? | Interviews | Hannity | Fox News


And I just saw on CNN that the 777 captain had the simulator in his house because Malaysia can't afford their own. The 24-hour idiot networks are so desperate now they are resorting to just making crap up... oh wait, they do that every day.

As I posted we added 530 net CA positions since Jul of 12. That should actually accelerate for the next 18 months. Let's hope airbus gets there act together on the 242 ton 330's and they get here next year. More delays could slow things a bit.

Net increase in # of Captains? What document are you using to validate that number?

You may be thinking of an APD. Once it's off, it's off.

Has it slowed beyond 2nd quarter? Agreed on the minimal if any 7ER FO displacements.

He's just posting AE vacancies and not offsetting it with the early outs and "real" retirements.. Just a talking point regurgitation. Most of the CAs that I flew with on the 767 that displaced to wide FO have not made it back to like position.

Either way though, you make that determination.

Off....I just don't see how you or the company can justify a robo call to "fish" for volunteers for a departure inside of 10hrs.

I would tend to think some of it is the lack of 757 retirements compared to what was planned.

On the way off the a/c, scheduling calls and asks us if we can fly to TPA. 320 mechanical followed by no copilot for an 88. We were the third and final chance for 140 pax. Was that a proffer, ie, GS? Reroute pay? Nothing has popped up on our rotation yet and now we're double deadheading to SLC to pick up the rest of our rotation. Any help?

PM sent.
