After being furloughed by a BA franchise I ended up with a fedex feeder in the middle east flying small cargo planes in the middle east. We hire most people or all people with a valid type and min. 500 hrs from which 300 hrs multi.
Working permit is arranged by the company nothing to worry about. Guess DHL in bahrain has a similair kind of requirement.
Should say cargo operations are a total different ballgame then I was used to back in Europe.
