G-FULL are you even in the aviation business?

The west is coming here, not the opposite.
I have no idea what you mean by that comment but the is not coming here to Bahrain, they are interested Saudi, UAE & Qatar. Bahrain does not even show up on their radar.

You have the GCC airlines that would take you because you are Bahraini.
What have Bahrainis suddenly become special? I think not. There are plenty of other full qualified & experienced nationalities around. The airline in the region are basing their future plans & crewing requirement on the availability of Bahraini pilots.

Bahrain Air will take you if you pay for your sim & line training.

GF may after you after a prolonged period of being unemployed & depending on if needed or not.

Arabia will take you if you pay BD20000.

Qatar do not non national take S/Os.

Emirates do not take non national S/Os.

Etihad do not take non national S/Os.

So basically your best bet,if you are dying to fly, is to hand over another BD20000 & go for Arabia since both GF & Bahrain Air cannot be trusted.

BD70000 to get a license & job!?!? Sounds like too big a gamble.
