My suggestion is that if your airline is in dire straits and you are convinced you will be out a job in the foreseeable future, then you need to consider all available options which could include FlyDubai, EK etc. For one there is no guarantee that you will be selected and so don't put all your eggs in one basket. Once you have interviewed with the lot and have "firm" offers, you can decide on what suits you best. As someone rightly said, have an exit plan and assess where you can go after life here. For many, 5-6 years can be a lifetime. In many ways flying for an airline here is nothing like what you may have been used to elsewhere. I am referring to quality of life etc. Many will argue that QOL here is reduced significantly because in many cases there isn't a monthly bid as such and days off are given mainly for regulatory purposes and not so you can enjoy a nice family life.
