Hey Dropp, don't get so defensive. I really wasn't trying to wind anyone up. I truly don't understand this sheeplike stampede to leave civilised europe, where there are good protections for workers and decent levels of security for families, to join a company in a ME country where you are nothing but a guest worker with no rights and dubious security.
Not to get personal...but your answer tends to make me think it really is an ego thing:
next time I strap on my EK 777-300
Poverty?: An FR F/O can earn as much as an EK Captain.
Exhaustion?: I guess loooong haul can get tiring too, huh?
Sunless destinations?: I think 50deg temps in summer is taking sun worship too far!
