I'm not guaranteed it. Just notified to interview. I'm pouring through the contract and getting all my ducks in a row. Expat flying can be fun but it can be harsh too. Not to mention what you'll have to return to when you get home.

Didn't you USED to work for XJT?
That COULD be so. Is that why XJT was contacted in the last 30 days about it? Also, is that why FlyBe has sent XJT updates and information on what they want from the pilots that are interested?

I hope you don't plan on working here once you're furloughed. You do realize you're going to be furloughed right? The best thing you could be doing is changing your tone and doing the best you can to get a good rep for yourself and see if you can get your resume walked into other places. Isn't very wise to continually talk down to people you made need to rely on soon.
Really? Barely a year in the industry, can you elaborate on all you experience about how "harsh" it can be?

As far as expat flying goes how long do you have to work somewhere before you know flying 10,000miles around the world to stay away from your friends and family for 6months at a time sucks? So far I've lived in about 7 different locations in the past 3 years. I'd say I have a decent idea of what moving around feels like.
It amazes me that you'd even turn a statement I made to someone defending your pilot group.

Your forgot the interns who have 500TT/100ME! Like I said, they just knew that if you want the best trained, most experienced and professional pilots, there is only one place to go to get them...obviously it wasn't who you are working for. I'm sorry you feel jealous or insecure with yourself that you had to post that.
Flybe/PAS is working out all the pilot certificate validations and work permits. XJT has offered any pilot a leave of absence to pursue this opportunity.
This isn't the only place. I'm sitting right now looking at a contract offering $7500 US + Housing for a 6month+ contract at 3 weeks on 2 weeks off with travel back to and from US provided along with an additional $500 per month after completion of contract with $1000 per month per diem. So $9k per month when it's all said and done. These jobs are out here so long as you have the documents in order and are willing to relocate. If I could get a 7month COLA out of RAH I'd be gone for sure. Debating it very heavily.
