Pilot 135. You have just had your first lesson in the realities of ADA and the Middle East in general. What you are told one day does not necessarily apply the next. Also it is a case of who you know - not what you know.
Nothing is 'fair' or consistent. If there is a problem and you are the only expat involved then it will be your fault.
You have certainly done the right thing by asking for advice on this forum before signing up but understand that nothing will be the same as it is back home. In ADA and the Middle East you are playing by their rules - not your own sense of justice or right and wrong.
Accept these truths and live with it or save yourself a lot of heartache and look elsewhere.
From one who knows.
