Working in the Middle East
Ladies and Gentlemen,
As you all know, the ME region is recruiting a lot of pilots at the moment, and those of us in the UK are (potentially) being offered a lot of money to move out and learn to love sand. However, TANSTAAFL applies as always, and I'd like to hear what those of you who are living there think about your individual circumstances. Which countries are good to live in as an ex-pat? Which airlines are good to work for (and which should be avoided)? Are there any traps to watch out for?
I know some will say that the info is out there on the forum to be found - and I'm sure it is, but a recap now and then is a good thing.
Your thoughts (preferably with examples and details) would be appreciated.
TH
