Dumpvalve I can assure you I was offerred the job and decided against it. The offer was for the A300, an old technology aircraft, and that coupled with a drop into the RHS did not represent an intelligent move for me - or anyone else with options.

Also I never much liked the idea of an Islamic state as a home.

If you think that every single guy who gets offerred a job takes it immediately I think you're deluding yourself.

Subsequent developments in the ME have made me glad I took that decision. You may think its a great place to bring up kids right now, but thats what the folks in Saudi thought just before Al Qaeda blew dozens of them to smithereens.

Couldn't happen in Dubai?
Perhaps you think AlQaeda don't exist in Dubai?
I assure you they do.

History is a long road with many turns. I prefer to watch such developments on TV.
I hope you stay safe.
