You guys just keep on beating this dead horse. It is a moot point. They have the interest needed to staff the airline at the current rate offered.
I know of a few who aren't going because the package isn't lucrative enough, but apparently the company targeted the pay/benefits well enough to get the interest they needed. That's just smart business.
1. Moron brought it up again.
2. It isn't smart business, it is plain skanky. Unless, of course it is ethical to take advantage of children that don't have full information, who are apparently to lazy or dumb to get the proper facts.
3. Taking this contract because it is a little better than what you are getting now is the same reason Mexicans come north. It might be a little better, but you will have a hard life and everyone in your new world will look down on you.
You guys have been told. The stupidity is on you now. Perhaps, you should put down the Lonely Planet Vietnam edition. Worry about learning the finer points of eating pho soup at a later date.
Start reading the sites that are frequented by expats and see what they say about contract flying and the pay rates.
