Before you move to the ME - you must completely understand and accept that you will be a 2nd-class citizen and have to accept your claustrophobic position.
Nonsense. I know many guys that have saved a tidy sum of money working in the ME. The choice of how much you save depends on your lifestyle, and investment savy decisions. Their are those who arrive with nothing and leave with nothing, will bad mouth everything in the sandpit, and then the rest. Individuals from legacy carriers state that they make more money as FO' s in the ME than commanders back home.
There are irritations that you have to work around in this neck of the woods, but second class citizens, really?
