Female Pilots in the Middle East
I am thinking of applying for positions in the Middle East and wondered if there were many female pilots working there. I was interested to know what its like to work in the middle east and their experiences. Please PM or reply. Many thanks Chrissy

I managed to swing a business flight to Manila recently, and was very pleased to hear the welcome PA by the female CAPTAIN.
The take off and landing were fantastic, the catering soso...

Gulf Air looks to have around 8 or 10 female pilots. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's difficult to get relatively accurate numers though.
There seem to be lots of female pilots with Indian airliners for some reason. But that's a different discussion.

How about EK? many females flying for them?
I just applied, I exceed the minimums and have heavy international time ... anyone know if being female has a bearing on whether they call you for an interview or not?

Yes if you exceed the required min. they will most probably call you. Qatar as well if you´re interested. My wife is also a pilot and got the call for both.
Just a shame they´ve both stopped (for now) hiring though.
Cheers.

Thanks guys.
Actually, I have done quite a bit of flying in the ME already, but all cargo. I'm pretty clued into the daily/yearly culture/lives so far, just wasn't sure about pilots since we are normally in our own little cargo world!
@ upspeed - did your wife interview and/or accept a job offer at either?
