it seems the passing remark i made about citizenship has taken the thread off topic and for that i do apologise.
The main issue that was being addressed was the different strokes for different folks and i guess even that is not solely an Oman problem unfortunately.
On the other hand a know of very few pilots or anyone for that matter, myself included who would renounce their citizenship to aquire an Omani one. despite that being the only way to achive employment equality. And this depite the friendliness of the people and quality of life that comes with secure stable employment.
safe flying to you all..
