Thanks again Critcaact that is all good information .
The pay here in the middle east when you consider the whole package is not that far off when you take the tax out of the US salaries. However for job security it is best to come back to the US!!
Another question if you may, what would be the average time to command with the majors? Do they still employ you as a F/E for a couple of years? Because it would mean a serious paycut while operating as a F/E.
thanks
