Air Atlanta Icelandic

Hello

First post.

I have had a look at the info on ppjn regarding salary etc but I wonder if anyone can answer any of the following questions in relation to an FO position.

Worldwide contract is 3/2. So over a year that would be 10 rotations.
Are you likely to achieve that amount of work?

Salary on ppjn suggests 340usd/day plus 50usd per diem.
Is this accurate? And how is this paid? I assume that is gross and you must sort your own tax affairs depending on your domicile.

They are currently advertising for a JED base. I have found some info suggesting that you are living in a compound there. If so, what are your additional expenses whilst you are there (food, transportation etc)?

With regards to the operation itself, is it mainly Hajj flying or are there opportunities for other operations elsewhere?

And finally, in terms of long term thinking. The info I have read on Pprune suggests that as a contractor you can forget about achieving command and there seems to be a high turnover of crew.
What do people generally move on to and how long are people staying?

Thanks for looking.

Syy.
