Wiley, I spent a lot more than a weekend there. In fact the interview wasn't even held in Dubai...I made it my business to go have a good look for myself afterward, in my own time and at my own expense.
So there goes your theory.
Those of you from the UK who keep referring to the interracial problems there...yes, its a big problem for you. We don't have it in Dublin.
Permaneance of employment. You say its not available any more?
If you have a job at FR I think you've got a job for life if you want it. Probably true of Easy as well. And they are both expanding. And there are quick upgrades on offer.
Dumpvalve, what EuroATC says is true. I've worked in other expat jobs and seen the carry on of the 'ladies who lunch'. Wouldn't want my wife ending up like that. Bored off her tits and kids spoiled rotten. The other (non pilot) ex pats looked with pity on the 'low' standard of living we had. Used to get right up the noses of many of the pilot wives that they just couldn't keep up with the Joneses.
