Meal allowance during layover varies depends on the place
so for example based on 80 hrs
22575+(104x80)+(1200 average meal allowance) = 32095 QAR or 8793$
plus another 500 dollars approx. for transportation.
Thanks A777Er, menaing that with the high cost of living in Qatar, having a family I will struggle!?? or do I missed something?
On the 777 as an FO you'll probably make just under 10k usd a month on average with paid accomodation and school for kids. With some planning it's possible to have a good lifestyle and save a bit of money at the same time even with a family.
The biggest problem at the moment in QR is the housing. You will be stuck in Barwa city or Ain Khalid for quite some time and you're not allowed to get the housing allowance anymore. Guys with families have been waiting for almost 2 years for housing allowance or a 2 bedroom in the pearl with almost no progress.
