clunckdriver is spot on.
Advance warning/advice heeded now could pay dividends for you expats later on.
Funny things happen in the ME. Like what happened to those who'd amassed tidy little $um$ in the BCCI in the 90s. In a heartbeat, hundreds of thousands of expat $aving$ and inve$tment$ evaporated. Who's will it be next???
One thing's for sure and certain, it will be interesting when the day comes for the returning Canadians to see where they think they are going to find an "acceptable" pilot position in this country.
Strategies anyone?
