I would tell them to get a job at a major airline (not LCC) in the US that has a base in their hometown.

Sorry, just IMHO... Even a USair career is a lot better than commuting across the world to a bunker in the desert where they take your passport away.
Yes, you get to fly a 777 or 380 at 27 and live in the towers with a bunch of FA's. You will have some cool pictures to put on facebook, but it will get old soon and you will look back at it as waisted time.

Solid family (and life in the US) is where you will be happy.

Don't forget to develop yourself in something esle so you could make your millions and not fly like a slave and shake everytime you go for a medical when you are 45+.
