The only domicile at the present time is Abu Dhabi.

Pay is on par with expat airlines for F.O. and Captain. They do have a housing issue which has caused some grumbling. Their allowance is only enough to get a 2 bedroom apartment in Abu Dhabi, possibly 3 if it is a run down old place in a bad area of the city.

Previous requirements were to have type rating in A320 or A330 that has now been dropped, but is still the preference.

They are growing rapidly and have the deepest pockets of any airline in the world.

I wouldn't go back to the Middle East unless it was for a Captain job. It's not for everyone.
