All the middle eastern airlines offer assistance to their local citizens, as does Singapore Airlines. If you are an ex-pat looking for a job, you normally require a fair chunk of experience - eg Emirates 4000 total 2000 jet. Ethihad also require Jet experience for entry with a type rating preferable - and no, 50 hrs on type with a total time of 300 isn't enough. They are looking for genuine experience. It may change, but I doubt it. Even in todays market with experienced pilots in relatively short supply, EK are not dropping their entry requirements (although they will interview you with 3500hrs,but you have to have the full 4000 before you start). India, as metioned earlier may be a place to look, also Arik Air in Nigeria.
