IFBB:
Some of our pilots know a gentleman who helps hire pilots for a good airline in the Middle East. The man is from a very faraway land, but I've never met him.
As for the Middle East, I have almost no experience over there, and prefer places with many big trees and lots of green grass everywhere. The areas I flew over long ago have no real color, are all harshly sun-roasted like a very beige or light brown pizza crust, (with microscopic vegetables), outside the Nile Valley.
Portugal might be rather nice for a home, but are many pilot salaries attractive, adjusted to the taxes and cost of living? There you would have access to many interesting vacation spots (and ladies with beautiful complexions..
..), delicious cuisines and historical settings.
Just met a guy in New Orleans who is a an underwater 'technician' (freelance scuba diver) from Manchester. He likes living in Spain very much-not just the lower tax rates.
