1400hrs jet jock with inflated ego and escalating expectations . . .

"I have a mortgage to pay, a girl I want to settle down with . . ." . . . "Also you find lots of Brits abroad in the Middle East as when a government funds a tourist industry and global hub airlines through oil money with rapid expansion then you need to bring in trained professionals, 1 aircraft every 2 months is unsubstainable for the UAE which has an indigenous population of 300,000 (same as Belfast).
Ok, so does that suggest that you're one 1400-hours unemployed U.K. jet pilot with escalating expectations that preclude working in China or in the sandbox . . . ?

What's your point? Are you not considering working in the sandbox because of indigenous demographics? Because there are more foreign workers in the sandbox than locals? Don't you know that all the foreigners need to fly in and out? GF, EK, EY, QR, SV, in fact carry more guest workers than tourists and locals. For that matter you could also compare tiny city state Singapore and wrongly conclude that SQ's world wide network is "unsustainable" because of its small indigenous population.

So sorry, but your sob story suggests that you had grown up with the dangerous idea that the world owes you something.
