Are you kidding? If it were me I'd tell them to pound salt.

While we pound our brains out until our backs ache and our wrists crack and pop
The trend toward more and more hospitals hiring for work-at-home MTs is helping and if they'd all go that route it would solve the problem.
Head in sand?
Well let me know when the line stealing law suit pans out for you. It sounds like you are doing fine where ever you are now. I hope nobody ever tries stealing lines from me.
If that happened to me I would quit too because that would be the only reason I could think of that a company would take my lines. They must not want me to continue working for them.
Thanks for signing your post by the way.
Get your head out of the sand,,,,
We all know what is meant by an off shore man, just like an off shore company. And the problem I see, is these offshore men think they can come to our country and treat us women like they treat the women from their homeland. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Treat us with respect and consideration, not like paid slaves who are just here to serve you. The offshore men I have had business dealing with are lying manipulators. The only ones that have any morals are the ones that came here as small children and grew up here. When did your DH come to this country? Was he born and/or raised here or did he come here after he was grown up? Either way, I am sure you have experienced the same thing watching, if not DH, then other men from his family.
Heads in sand
You know, I'm always amazed at what people say and what they apparently believe. I've been told more than once that I only see in black and white. Well, maybe I do, but I'm seldom wrong about anything. I've said for years that people with a long way to go to retirement had better rethink the MT field because MTs will go back to where I started, minimum wage. Well...actually I started before there was a minimum wage. All one has to do is read the handwriting on the wall and it's usually written in black and white. It isn't just MTs either, it's the whole U.S. work force. They're screwed. 
I think they stick their head in the sand
because they only think about their own well-being for the present minute. Wow! Golly Geez! Some company will hire me! They don't realize that by going with a company that offshores, they are participating in their own destruction. I am always amazed at how many people lack critical thinking skills.
I am betting that is not where here head is stuffed (in the sand)!!!!
I think it is somewhere else, different shade of brown.
Do you enjoy living with your head buried in the sand?
My wages in 2006 were $67,000. In 2007 they dropped to $52,000. 2008 fell to $45,000, and this year I will be lucky to break $40,000. This while working for the same company. How is anyone supposed to be happy about that? I am grateful in this ecomony that I still have a job, but to sit here working the same hours I always have and making $27,000 less a year, is disheartening, frustrating, if not just downright criminal on the part of companies who continually expect the same or more for less.
I don't know how any can call themselves an American and not be concerned with American jobs being sent overseas.
You really take the cake with your attitude. Just go back and stick your head in the sand where it belongs.
