flynhigh,
I am not currently working in the ME, but from my experience, unless you are flying the 700 series CRJ or bigger, your Jet time may not count. Depending on the airline you are applying for. Qatar Airways for example, as of now, does not count the CRJ 200 towards the requirments for a Direct Entry FO. The aircraft must way over 25,000 Kilos to count. Hopefully in the future, that requirment will change.
Best of luck.
