Thank you Panama Jack for your informative reply. It is welcome to read straightforward answers to straightforward questions.
I have 7000hrs TT and am currently heavy four-engine turboprop PIC, but only have 500hrs B737 co-pilot. I work for and have given my all to a respected company and they have treated me well in return. However the time has come for me to look after the next 25 years of my flying career and quality of life. Having trawled through the posts of the past year and done research on Bahrain it appears that Gulf Air is worth applying to.
All companies and countries have their negative aspects, but it is your own and your spouse's or family's personal happiness that is in the end the most important. Are Gulf Air crews and their spouse largely content with their T's & C's and living in Bahrain?
