No jobs in the middle-east or anywhere on this planet with what you have. You need an instructor rating or if you got the money, look into PTF schemes (apparently its frowned upon by working pilots who worked their ass up the ladder)

PTF - Pay To Fly

Look around, there are many topics on this subject. Basically, you pay the airline to fly. It seems, in the aviation industry, experience means NOTHING and you pay for everything, hours, type rating, sim sessions, uniforms, food, etc. Being a pilot now is worse than flippin' burgers at McDonalds. Those who have a job, are always complaining as you can see most of the topics here, and those who dont, cry about their career choice.

:sad:

I met someone the other day who has just been offered a Second Officer position with QR and he has 200hrs and a Frozen ATPL.
