I wonder about my family (wife and daughter) having a nice time in the homebase, anybody knows how smooth is it for a westernized family?
Im an FO 6200 total time, 4300 on 767 and 1100 on 737 efis.
Thank you guys! good luck to you all!
With those hours; they would be interested in you for 777 or shortly the 787.
Regarding the lifestyle, I think you need to look at Jeddah, the accommodation and schools for yourself to decide if this is the life you want for your family. Understand, as I've said before, this isn't a commuting job, so plan to move your family here.
The 747 is no longer an option, the passenger aircraft will be phased out by early next year.
