KOTS is quite correct in that the UAE (not just Dubai) and the jobs to be found over there (not just flying aeroplanes) is
not what it was 10-15 years ago. But, it's still better than what you face over here in the Great White North.
I too would suggest a read through the various threads on the subject and caution that 'some' posters have unrealistic expectations and therefore the spiral into disappointment is understandable. (More money for less work doesn't work any more) While others 'livin the dream' often fail to observe the less desireable aspects of living there. It's a balance between the two.
If you want to go over there, and are offered a pilot position, you have to give it time once you get there. Approximately, two years, before you know whether it's for you or not. It
IS a different world, a false economy, and anything but reality. It
IS what you make of it.
The bigger problem and greater difficulty will be for those individuals who return to Canada after several years of living tax free and working over there in an environment quite unlike here. I haven't read postings from those individuals who have returned and shared that experience with us.
Now that would be an interesting read.
