Thanks for all your constructive input guys, I really appreciate all your comments.
Just to clarify, we all have frozen ATPL's. I have 2300 hrs, one of my colleagues has 3500hrs and the other has 1200 hrs.
I don't want this to be a pay to fly debate. I don't want to pay for hours, this is the reason we're venturing into the unknown, in this climate you have to go the extra mile..
I know most think we are wasting our time, but I'm always the optimist. If we don't do it, we'll never know.
Please pm me with contact information for chief pilots, heads of training's, or anyone involved in pilot recruitment just so that we can try to make some appointments. Knowledge of any UAE based flying schools would also be useful. Surely there are some people already working in UAE that could offer some constructive advice.
Thanks in advance MHN
