GCC
The GCC is the series of states around the Gulf Region. Think it stands for Gulf Co-operation Countries.
So now you are looking at Dubai, Saharjah, Kuwait, Bahrain, Soudi and the likes.
Hope this helps.

Finally got a job, but not on the A320..
Hi All
I finally manage to get a job, but not on theA320 which I took a typerating on,
Im flying for a swedish airline flying BAe Jetstream 32, Its finally flying.
I can sum up my experience, taking the A320 TR was probably one of my biggest misstakes ever (most finacally), well it was fun and you learned a lot but wasting so much money on something that you should be paid to do. My Jetstream rating was paid by my company and Ive flown around 250hrs on it and it keeps on going.
Some of you say that a new lowtimer with 250hrs or so shouldnt fly a jet, well to be honest - the Jetstream rating was MUCH tougher than the A320, the jetstream is some how pretty unstable compared to most aircrafts Ive flown (PA34,PA31) so I would say that Jetstream is much harder to fly. The A320 has computers that manage most of the things that you manually do and flying with one engine is even more easier than flying with both on the BA32 (Jestream)...
So I would say that Jet is much easier, but If everything goes to ¤/%# than it really comes to experience.. And that something that you dont get from the beginning.. Flying scheduled traffic is both easier and harder, easier since your two - but harder since you almost fly in EVERY weather condition (RVR 550 is tough - since our Jetstreams doesnt have autopilot..). But its FUN and I love it, although its not the Airbus - but with a couple of more hours than I can get to the next step
So flying big from the beginning is fun and all - but to be honest - If I knew what I know now - I would have not taken the A320 rating. Flying smaller turboprop is good for your experience.
But if you get a chance directly on the jets - Take it its better paid
