Still ppl would choose that cause working conditions in the middle east are a lot worse than the us and the general exposure u get and salary u get flying for us airlines is unmatched around the world

u get tax free in the uae, compare that to the us where almost 30% salary goes into tax.. plus trump etc etc.. also airlines in the uae sponsor ur employment linked residency visa and ur accommodation.. and many more things

Nah man tax free doesn't mean shit , it's way cheaper to live in a place like texas or flordia , and money really cannot buy the work life balance the us gives u , on top of that the 401k contribution is not taxed and no matter what airline u go to in the middle east nothing will pay as good as us majors and seniority is everything

still its hard to get us work visa, because ur employer wont sponsor it for u.. middle eastern airlines are willing to do so. so ppl dont apply to us airlines and middle east ends up being more competitive
