I must say that I agree with Laker , all the pilots I have spoken with in Dubai are here just for a while because they have lost their jobs or are looking for some quick cash and some change...
Didn't meet yet one who was planning to have a career here.
I have even seen guys flying as captain here and deciding to go back home as first officer...
The only attraction here seems to be the chance of flying big jets if you were stuck in a low cost in Europe where you will be flying A320 or B737 for 40 years....with a poor salary compare to here.
