mutt-Minimum Guaranteed Time(MGT)

Hi Mutt,

Just had the interview for B744. In the T & C's MGT is given as 78 Hrs per month. Is this MGT based on credit hours or specifically block hours?

The same question applies to the Overtime Payment,Monthly Productivity Allowance. Would these extra payments be based on credit hours or block hours per month/year?

Any clarity you might give on the above would be much appreciated.

Salary and overtime are based on credit hours, all productivity payments are on block hours.

Mutt.

Hi Mutt,thank for the info on the credit/block hour details.Very helpful.

When you bid, what's the likely hood of getting block days off to commute?

What's the realistic block length of days off you can achieve on a typical month,if any?

Can you increase the block by using some of your leave days on a month by month basis,operational requirements considered of course.

Thank you for your help.

ATB.

Unhappy SV771 Cabin Crew on 9th may 2013 from Chennai to Dammam.

Hi Everyone, Here im gonna post my feeling right here with me about that happened between me and the air hostess who is sitting in front of me near the emergency door exit and she doesn't talk to me but she wanted to say something to me. i had just looked at her and we didn't talk a bit, but our eyes spoke a lot, i looked at her, she looked at me. It was a great feeling what we both had finally i thought to speak to her but we got reached dammam and i never talk to her and leave the seat immediately.. i feel sad about that and knew that i made a mistake.. i have to say something to her but i didn't... i feel so so sad... i would like to say sorry to that girl.. sorry for posting my personal feeling... because my mind was getting disturbed since i leave the flight...

Thanks for reading my post..

I thought that the agencies were advertising and finding, but the employment is actually by SVA, therefore all the contracts are the same.

They were fun days I think that you will find that the demographics have changed a lot and english is no longer the primary language, but that said, others have returned with their families and are loving it.

Schooling allowances

Can anyone share some infos concerning the schooling allowance.
My main concern is if the allowance is just for children living with you in Saudi or also if they are living abroad.
Will be a kind of reimboursement or is it payed in advance ?

Kids in and out of KSA. Only up to the 9th year. Approximately $7100 usd per year. Maximum 3 kids. Re-imbursememt after providing receipts and documents. It is really a pain to get it back.
