I have been out here several years at a carrier which cannot be named (a joke for those in UAE). I have had a few friends with varied corporate experience come over to search out the elusive juicy contract in Dubai/Abu Dhabi with minimal success. Most of the jobs are looking for seasoned typed drivers of larger jets with the range to reach Europe/Asia/NA and a few hundred right seat hours from a CRJ is not going to get you that far. I know several EK pilots who regularly make rounds to investigate any jobs on the private side and get stone-walled.

If your goal is just to fly for a modest paycheck and you don't have shiny jet syndrome, I know the skydiving drop zone is always looking for jump pilots for the Porter/Otter/Skyvan fleet they have. Easy hours, great view, etc.
