to go or not to go
Furb
ask yourself one question "what if the new outfit turns out to be worse then my present employer"
if it turns out that you do not like Dubai or the airline, then what is plan B get-out plan? do you have one? can you go back to your old employer or are you burning your bridges.
I dont know what your circumstances are but you must have these critical questions answered before you go. Do not expect people to help you. you have to be flexible and adaptable to cope with new surroundings yourself.
I thought i would reply to your thred because i have been through this process twice, once in aviation and once non aviation and realise your dilemma.
