I think most expat DE's don't fancy leaving because they can't get more money elsewhere and the lifestyle at amwaj.
Keep hearing rumors about Gulf Air wetleasing their A340's in a deal with Boeing to a European airline flying from a EU base to South America. With Gulf Air crews thus 'based' at that airport. First thing that came to mind was Iberia or TAP.
Also, heard there might be a deal with MEA or Egyptair with regards to some of the 330's that are now put on 'soft grounding.'
We'll see if any of this is true or well made up...
