Pilots have always had a challenging profession, but perhaps now more than ever, just maintaining employment is difficult enough. While the economic downturn that put thousands of pilots on the street is starting to show signs of a slow recovery, eager aviators are faced with an unusual amount of competition when they apply for the various jobs. To say the least, pessimism rules the masses. The result too often enough is a pilot choosing to settle for the typical "will-fly-for-food" job where he or she will be overworked, underpaid and under-appreciated, in order to just to stay flying. There is also the growing trend of the "pay-for-training" jobs where a pilot is expected to spend tens of thousands of dollars, often just to be considered for a job where he is paid a salary so low it would take him years to recover his investment. This, in my opinion, is unacceptable. But no one would argue that the aviation industry has changed forever. Pilots HAVE to learn new and up-to-date techniques in order to create a successful and fulfilling career in a world where they have a lot of competition. Fortunately, I'm working hard to provide that essential training because usually the only thing standing between a pilot getting a great job and being unemployed is knowing exactly what to do. Also, knowing WHERE to apply these skills is an topic I'll be exploring. There's a growing market these days for pilots to work overseas. It offers a chance for them to get out of their backyard and experience a different culture, and build some valuable flight time, usually at a high salary compared to back home. The Middle East in particular is a real hot-spot for pilot jobs. Just look at any job listing website and you'll see the posts dominated by Middle Eastern companies. Perhaps the idea of working in the Middle East brings images of a hostile world filled angry fanatical terrorists who hate your very soul for living in a free world where you are allowed to make your own decisions. And for a good reason. It would clearly be a bad idea to venture off to a violence prone chaos like Afghanistan and expect to be able to enjoy your life. But most of the Middle East region has evolved past the 20th century, and you shouldn't let the mainstream media mislead you to make too many generalizations. For example, the United Arab Emirates and even Saudi Arabia have become relatively modernized and the residents there enjoy all the comforts of home as well as an exceptional quality of safety.
But most pilots don't apply to Middle East pilot jobs even when they do meet the advertised requirements, which vary from low time flight school graduates to type rated jet pilots. It's just that there's SO many questions and preconceptions about what would be involved in taking a job one of the Middle Eastern countries. Everyone has an opinion or has heard a rumor about it, but does anyone really know unless they've been there? Well, I decided to get to the bottom of this and I hunted down a very successful pilot named Brian that found a great job in the Saudi Arabia after a year of unemployment in the states and I asked him ALL the questions anyone would ever want to know about what's it's like. This of course is the only way to get the real facts, and let me tell you, it was an eye opening experience for me. It turns out that there's a virtual pilot shortage in this part of the world and these really are great jobs that you could take advantage of IF you know exactly how to do it correctly. Brian reveled everything to me and what I learned could easily change a someones whole game plan when it comes to what possibilities they actually have as a pilot. I asked the four most common questions:
"Where can a pilot find the BEST jobs in the Middle East?" It turns out pilots like Brian credit one particular website for this purpose, Pro Pilot World. Available only to commercial pilots, it's a paid networking site with the slogan "Pilots helping pilots." They often offer what's known as "PPW Exclusives" which are elite job listings that are not released to the public. "What is the lifestyle like when you get there?" Brian told me that it is certainly a different culture. There is prayer 5 times a day and businesses shut down for that. Plus, the women are covered head-to-toe in their Islamic dress. However, the locals are amazingly friendly to foreigners and crime is almost nonexistent. "Hasn't the economic downturn effected Middle Eastern aviation? Are there really jobs available?" Brian assured me that there are LOTS of jobs for pilots and if someone knows how to take advantage of them, and are willing to move, at least on a rotational basis, they will have a lot of fun. "In terms of salary and the way pilots are treated, how does your job compare to a similar one in the United States?" Brian laughed. He gets paid 30-40% more, his income is tax-free, his housing is paid for, a car is provided free-of-charge, and he is treated like a part of the family. Just about the only thing he pays for out of pocket is food and the gas he puts in the car, which is about 40 cents per gallon. Not bad! As the interview went on, I discovered lot of the ideas I personally had about working overseas were way off base. To put it simply, there are great middle east pilot jobs opportunities, and the fact that the Middle East is still uncharted territory means that you'll have a huge advantage if you know exactly what to do to get a great job like Brian. You will be able to pick the best ones and avoid any of the common mistakes that the uninformed applicant might otherwise make. In fact, if you're at all tired of battling with your competition at home for the few low paying jobs, and you'd like to explore the possibility of working - even temporarily - in a place where you're in demand and compensated appropriately, I guarantee the full interview with Brian will provide you with everything you'd need to start right away and get the job of your choice overseas.
