I have met the CP of the 777 (KT) and to my mind you WILL NOT find a more decent guy at any other airline. Fair, honest and professional. Try saying those 3 words at a vast majority of airlines.
If the rest of the worlds major airlines (wannabe and actual) had more guys like him at the helm then professionalism in airlines would no longer be a word laughed at.
I cannot speak of the ME lifestyle (other than layovers) myself, or EY management. But what I do know about EY is all positive. Bear in mind the decision you may make, ie living in the ME: debtors prison, human rights, work rights.... Hell! You can be arrested for being raped! (See recent media).
I respect your tenacity to be as best informed as possible. Just be aware that most pilots will complain that the sky is too blue....... And be aware of the job and location you may be ASKING to be a part of.
