Sandpit slide

Ted, as greenback slides, so does dirham (UAE currency). Competition is ever increasing and all of the players in the region are wearily checking their six.
Give it a shot at "Etihad" - FO take home is CAD 7500-8000, company paid accomodation, subsidized private school of your choice, subsidized medical/dental. You can reasonably expect upgrade within 3 to 4 years. Abu Dhabi is safe place with most amenities you are used to. What you need to do though, is some scouting/research. It is by no strech of imagination ideal place/company; I guess it all depends on your (and Mrs') expectations.
A lot of negative posts and a (very) few realistic ones have been written in ME forum. If you are open minded and have realistic goals, give it a try. I did. No regrets.
