Chirpy,
Sounds like a gift. Although you have to take anything said on Pprune with a grain of salt, FD gets the fewest compliments in this board. If you want a Middle Eastern version of Ryanair with lots of night flying, keep applying. Others are hiring in the Gulf. If FD cannot appreciate your background and treat you in a professional manner, perhaps others will. Just expect long delays with those airlines considering the large inflow in applications. Manage your expectations.
Good luck!
