Gentleman, gentleman,
How about everyone put everything they know into the open. It will be very helpful in making decisions. No?
And you're right... here's to buckets of patience!

I know very well Capt Balaa and Geha and to be honest, I have never had the same song sung to me twice...They always find a new melody...I know their surroundings like T.H, A.C, N.A etc. and I have learned to be careful even with friends.
Two years ago, when the hiring was decided, I was there with them and was told that if I was interested, I should forward my documents... So for you guys who think 2 weeks is a wait!!! It took me 2 years of sitting around...At that time, I was extremely interested because I was told that the salary was averaging the 6000 $US & only a slim part of the training would be taken off the salary as a bond...!
I was also "working" for Bsat Rih Air. Actually, that ended up being just another waiting game since I never saw the Metro III
take off...
I now work in a much better position and frankly can't see myself going to MEA. They called me numerous times and the requirements and benefits for the job seemed to follow greatly my willingness to join MEA curve...
I also know that if Lebanese don't meet the requirements, then they'll dig and hire foreigners...! The Cadet programme is on track although it's the same story, some major budget cuts will make it less interesting for future hires...
Cheers
