if you do loose your jobs guys ( and i sincerly hope you dont) dont worry there are plenty of jobs in the middle east if you are boeing and airbus qualified. just for information etihad, qater , emirates and also Oman air are all desperate for pilots. And even further out India and Far East also have opportunities. Just start to spread those wings out and dont worry.
i know its a big sacrifice to leave all that rain behind, but at least some of the pay is tax free !
