Doing a runner means breaking the contract. That alone justifies the runner being blacklisted.
Boozer Fts in China deserve being blacklisted too, despite there being too many of them here

I agree with you about the lack of staying power, leading FT's to run away- I have heard of one bloke arriving in China and running away from two jobs in as many weeks. It's always the same old story "all down to unreasonable Chinese behaviour" well, gotta blame somebody.

AS for the booze; I think some of us need a few drinks to get through the lessons, and as long as you don't throw up over your students and your speech is not too slurred..no harm done. Now, am I right or am I right?
