Hi Guys,
I don't know if you can help me? Friend of mine just applied for an AME position with Gulf Air, and he was told it is not an AME position they are advertizing for but rather a "Defect Review Engineer" at Maintenance Control Center in Manama.
Never the less he wants to find out few things about Gulf Air beside what we all see on the web site "General Stuff". He has been offered a package which in my openion "I could be off on this" is little low for a guy with his experience and he is from England. The package they are offering is:
- $3258.00 U.S. for a single/month
- $3758.00 U.S. for a family/month
- One bus. class travel ticket/year
- Company health Insurance
- Schooling for the kids
And that's it! what I mean they didn't
offer him company Accomedation nor Transprotation, they told him we will deduct Approx. $800 U.S. for company
Accomedation of the salary listed above. So after everything said and done he should have less than $3000 U.S. dollars/month.
The guy is presently earning $49000 U.S. working for a well reputable airline and has all the benefits of the majors with over 13 years of experience in aviation. Guys don't mind me stating things to my disliking, I am just looking out for the good of my friend, that's all.
This guy has A320 approval, A.340/330 approvals, B.767 and others which are not relavant to Gulf Air. So I am kind of shocked to hear what they are offering. Never the less he has yet to give them an answer for an intreview date since he dosen't know if he should go for it or not, as it is he is making more money than what they are offering him and he is living at home. I think if he decides to go for it, it will be for experience only.
Guys any replies will be well appreciated just to help him out, especially from Gulf Air AMEs or flight crews that have an idea of the payscale at Technical Operations"MCC" for British X-pats and what sort of package other people have been offerd, company culture, weather he can negotiate the package....you know this sort of thing, also any info. on the interview process like "any written exams involved part of the interview-and how much in depth " will be well appreciated, just in case he decides to go for it. He seems to be interested in landing a job in the Gulf region. Look forward to hear from ya all.
Cheers :ok:
