Prospects for low time pilot in Middle East

for sure the jet carriers hire low-time nationals as "ab initio" or cadets..it's hard for them to bring in outsiders, when they have nationals with the same experience levels, some expat f.o.'s do exist, but not without a type rating and some time in type..sorry no more positive feedback to offer...expat cadet opportunities pretty much dried up about 9 years ago...dhl and falcon express operate 1900's and metro's, but expats come with time in type....

Both Falcon and DHL require you to have a type rating, but time on type is not critical
$$ start at about $2500 - $3000 US tax free a month as an F/O and they work you for it but hay thats what we all want is hours in the book and to win the race.

Bengwa pilot, where in the middle east are you looking at going in a few months and do you have a metro or 1900 type rating as you probably wont get a job up here without a rating on the type the airline flys.
There is an otter operator in abu dhabi you could try them, if you want i can get there

Hi there:
I have heard of a pilot who was just 'fresh' out of training and obviously he did not have any commercial experience. He was actually offered a job and a type rating on the Metro with DHL in Bahrain. Not Bad!!!!
This might of been a rare exception but it does happen. Maybe it might be worth letting them know that you are interested.
All the best!!!!
(I have addresses and fleet details here if required)
