Yeah not too sure about there financial position but the pilot moral is apparently going completely down the tubes. I heard now that it is true to be hired you need to be Dubai resident and that it seems to be causing friction amongst the expat pilots. I'd prefer to have the chance to see that for myself. I heard the Chief Pilot there has a hidden agenda.
Also was just told that ATR type wont help, but they have plans for a couple more. Still sounds like worth the effort to me. Good tax free salary in a nice place.
