Empire4 has a point but let's not give up the aviation career just yet. Lots of people young and old have gone overseas to carriers like Etihad, Qatar and Emirates etc and have actually enjoyed the opportunity to work there. Unless you want to be the last man standing then give the expat job a chance. I've worked overseas for over 20 years and love it. That's just me though so go and see it for yourself. Can always say "no".
Thats great for you if your a driver - the money for Eng's in the ME is

I had a look into Emirates (I went to one of there road shows). You have to keep in mind though, you dont pay tax in Dubai, EK pay for accomodation and school/uni for your chhildren. So at the end of the day i worked out that EK pay a LAME with my licences the equilvalent of earning 150k in australia before tax. Which is still less than what i earn currently, but if i do lose my job at QF i wouldnt mind giving it a shot over in Dubai.
