Salary & allowance increase
Currently Saudi and NAS are offering something like $18000 take home per month with transport and accommodation from the company, with a roster of 3 weeks on 1 week off, and of course without PBS bulls**t to stick a SB between your days off.
Chinese companies are offering $220k per year on the 737 with upgrading to 777 or 787.
The attrition in this company is very high so it's easy to guess what happens next.
If this company want to expand as they say and keep at bay it's pilots, then they would have to be brave enough to give pay rise or allowance increases. Otherwise the day is not far away when they would have to cancel flights due to lack of pilots

For all those in the initial part of the application process.
I applied to FD on November 1st. I received an email confirming I passed phase 1 and to proceed to phase 2 to set up a date for the U.K. For the entire month I tried and received the following message:`No spaces are currently available, please try again later`.
I have also set-up an account through the FD website, but it will not allow me to go any further then my name and password set-up. I do not know what that is all about.
I am now going to contact CTC to find out what is going on...should I get any information I will post it here. IF anyone else has any additional information please provide in for the benefit of fellow pilots.
I have said it before; this CTC process in the suckiest suck that ever sucked.

What puzzles me is their new website though. I wanted to contact CTC about it too, so keep me posted if you get any info. Thanks!

This will start a healthy discussion at the next pilots meeting.

I do apologise. Normally I check them. I tried to link the original article but that didn't work but there are tones of other out there now. Here's another interesting article with some more info. Apparently 2013 saw an 8% housing allowance increase in the UAE too!

Here's some other interesting info form the original article;

We've recieved 3 or 4 new aircraft since the last 'new' route announcement and that route started quite some time ago. It's been quiet ever since. 'FEK' is already on the BFI flightline and should be delivered within weeks.
Yet no new routes or increased frequencies announced.
They must be hedging a plan to start ops at DWC during the rwy closure.

I do apologize. 'FEK' stand for the latest reg to join the fleet, A6-FEK. And 'BFI' is the IATA code for Seattle-Boeing Field. Final preparations for delivery of Boeing 737 aircraft after the first test flight are made at Boeing Field. (BFI)
