Dani, I'm tempted to say that your information regarding Gulf Air is inaccurate. Unless that is the MOST RECENT requirement for them to take non rated pilots only. I attended an assessment center in September 05 and there were a few 320 RATED guys who ended up getting the job. I also know that the selection held in November 05 had a few rated guys too. So, unless that is the requirement from December 05, I would have to say, go check your facts.
I believe a career in the ME with any of the disputed airlines is a whole deal better than most airlines out there in the world. My 2 cents.
