Eddy,
If you're seriously considering a move to the middle east, go for Emirates...

I attended an interview for Gulf a couple of years ago and was very unimpressed. For a start, they were DESPERATE for crew. They wanted me to sign contracts there and then and actually asked me if I could be in Bahrain the following week!! ER NOOOO! They had no one on one interviews, everything was done in group format (so no chance to assess you as an individual) and the whole experience was rushed, impersonal and rather chaotic.

Also...forgive me Eddy, I'm not sure if you're a guy or gal.....but unless their policy has changed, they were only recruiting female cabin crew in this country.

I have a couple of friends at EK who love it. Their conditions are great and they say Dubai is a great place to live. They are well paid and their digs are provided by the company. My friend has managed to save a huge amount of cash which she's planning on using towards a house when she comes home next year!

Good luck and do your research before you make any decisions!
