Just occasionally on pprune a thread emerges and I realise why I have not deserted completely. In among the negative and the perpetually offended a gem of a post pops up, well written, highly amusing and an accurate description of expat pilot ops which I share but never quite at the grim level Contractorgrad writes about. As a pilot the Middle East will provide some dark comic moments if your sense of humour remains intact. My personal relationship with Yemenia was over 20 years ago where I conducted their proficiency checks at Gatwick. I was their nominated examiner on the 737-800 believe it or not, purely on a freelance basis so never actually visited Yemen. Nice bunch actually. Well done Contractorgrad, a great read.
