Its very sad that there are pilots so desperate on this earth they have to work in the middle east.
All airlines here are the same, you arrive and the clamp goes on your leg and it is released only after months of bull**** even a credit card with 0 balance has a wait up to 60 days for a clearance from the bank. That is one of many hoops to jump through to get off the chain gang.
I have seen many guys come here and this was the best job on Earth , all very positive looking forward to a long career but around 18 months is breaking point , now many desperate to leave more desperate than they were to get in in the first place.
Remember 1 thing never ever give up a command !
