You are coming to the Middle East

Always remember that you leaving a country where laws mean kinda something and coming to the wild wild Middle East where laws are there just to say they have laws. Even with a bullet proof contract they will find a way to screw you. Come on just be aware of what you will have to live with from now on. Up to until 4 years ago it was not so obvious. Now it is right in your face every day. Dubai and the Middle East is not what you want it to be. It is what it is and what it is famous for. Do your researches in other places than aviation forums and you will find your answer. If you are willing to live day by day as many people live around the world ( and that's called survival ) well come and join the club as an expat and a mercenary where all you have to think about is you, you and you. You can earn a decent amount of money as a Captain. As a F/O, personally I would have not survived in these conditions. Remember that it is just a job. Not more. If you are up for the none sense of this place come along boy! If are not don't come and cry when you will have been screwed many times like all of us here. My buckets are filling up. Both of them...

Keep Discovering
