Thanks for the kind words, JAAR, but if you talk to my kids, you'll find that I spend far too much time away from home as it is. But who cares, I can't see the point of your post anyway.
For the rest of you who visit the ME forum seeking advice on whether or not you should uproot your family and move halfway around the world to work in the ME, to a different culture, different climate and different corporate culture?
You should be very much aware that some of the resident ME "experts" have never worked or lived in the ME, but that doesn't stop them from telling you which airline you should apply to, which airlines are good or bad to work for, upgrade and fleet transfer policy of ME airlines, workload, etc, etc.
The Norwegian 787 contract is really bad, and you need to take housing and taxes into consideration as well. Where you will pay your tax is anyones guess, but I'm sure both the Thai and the Scandi tax authorities will be interested in your money.
