Thanks guys. FYI I am an experienced FO and have been expat for several years. I agree with NC, when abroad be sure to view the world with open eyes and enjoy the adventures available. You also realize the best place in the world is - home..
This does definitely not mean I want to be home all the time, but to plan to commute in an environment, that is not geared towards commuting while bonding yourself for a very long time seems - well - a little risky..
From other sources it seems like especially QR is accepting and to a certain degree accomodating commuting pilots. Would like to hear more about your experiences.
