desertopsguy,
Thanks for the info. I was trying to see if getting a GACA license would provide any advantages for getting employment with a GCAA airline. Would it look better for interviewing with EY or EK eventually down the road? I know they already take my FAA stuff but having operational experience in the area and gaining a license from a local authority should make my CV better. I would think. Especially if they convert them easily.
I am just trying to estimate the advantages/disadvantages of seeking a temporary position in the ME to get current and gain local experience vs just waiting for my recall in the US and go from there. Hence the question. Regardless, it seems NAS is looking long term only at the moment.
