Did'nt you know UAE is a Muslim country???
Just kidding - theres plenty of deviant behavior around here. As for the hours - sounds a little low on twin (300 min) however rumour has it that there are some in the company who started with less. B190 Rating is neccesary - you may have to shop around for that, forget the ATR for now, internal promotions are supposed to take care of that. As Right Seat said earlier Steve Sanchez is the man to talk to. He will certainly fill you with high hopes. Good luck.
