"They have been flooded with well qualified applicants and have started hiring and don't expect any difficulties in filling all positions."

I'm sorry, but I had to chuckle at that one. Of course they are going to get plenty of applicants, its one of the highest paying contracts in the world. The problem isn't finding people willing to go, the problem is retaining people once they arrive!
Go in with your eyes wide open. Sometimes the money isn't worth the soul sucking day to day operations. The people you work with will be ok if you can stay away from those that are negative but there is more to life than a big pay cheque. Quality of life will be everything in a year. I sincerely wish good luck to those that get a position. I couldn't continue with just 60 flying hours in a year. Don't be disillusioned if in a year you want something more. Just chalk it up to experience.

Cheers
