be careful what you wish for
Guys, think long and hard about coming over to the sandbox. i have been working a contract here in the uae, and it is not that easy to live here. If I was to work for any carrier here, it would be Etihad, as Abu Dhabi is a more orderly city. If you want to come here, remember that you are foreign worker, just like anyone else here, and you do not enjoy the same rights and priveleges that you are accustomed to stateside. The traffic is crazy, the heat is mind-bending, and doing business here is maddening. I honestly do not know how a guy can bring his family here. Even as a single guy, I have found it challenging. On the plus side, money is a great opiate, the flying is rather easy, and there seems to be an endless amount of money thrown at these airlines. Additionally, you will learn more about the world than you would ever imagine. I am very pleased with my decision to come out here, but I do know that I have a definite return date to the USA.
