It's all in the perrspective. You'd have a hard time convincing me to leave Gulf Air for Qatar. Ethiad may be good now that Hogan is there, Emirates isn't a bad choice either. All of the ME airlines have their issues, pick your poison, no such thing as a perfect job anymore...anywhere.

That being said, although GF isn't buying up every shiney new aircraft that they can get there hands on, it's a pretty good place to work. Good group of guys in a relaxed but professional environment, least on the Boeing anyway. The pay is about the same as the others, housing/schooling a little worse, but cost of living and commute times are less in BAH the DXB for example. The days of 5 day layovers are gone, but you won't find that too many places anymore.
