for more importent issues;
As for the B767 saga, I actually feel quite bad for those people that are directly or indirectly affected by this drama Pilot or otherwise, I mean the expat. Specially those with kids, schooling and so forth. I do not actually work for GF but I know what they must be going through, Management and staff. I returned from a gulf state almost close to the Kingdom of Bahrain not long ago, I also flew with some of the B767 pilots and Airbus aircraft in that region. I could suggest to the Pilots who are worried or they may or may not be affected by this terrible situation is to make preliminary Enquire with some of the EY crew if you know any or directly with the airline on the conditions and benefits of EY. I am sure some you also know your old boss HOGGE. indicently they have B 767 on their fleet which is almost new and it is only done approx 8500 hours. It used to belong to the Royal fleet. Also you may discuss the possibility of conversion on the B777 during the interview. My experience from listening to the EY flight crew they were overall happy with the usuall occational whinge, also the fleet is almost new. my experience is there is always something is not right not matter where you go.
I hope this will help. Remember, loyalty goes both ways.
