Flyinguy,
you must be getting confused with my post and the one by Knotaloud.
I have just got hold of the F/O offer letter and its like this
Basic Qr 14000
Housing Qr 5000
Furniture Qr 700
Utility allowance Qr 300
Transport Qr 600
--------------
Total Qr 20600
Add to this about 75 hrs flying at the rate of Qr 70/hr that is about
Qr 5250
as i see it you will get about Qr 25850 per month
Addition to this is
75% of actuals upto max Qr 30000 per annum= Qr 2500 per month as school education for kids.
Point increment Qr 420 ( i dont know as yet if this is a yearly rise)
Qr 210 per hour above 780 block hrs - IF OVERTIME is done
Knotaloud is right in giving the monthly expense figures more or less but 7500 Qr for accomodation is in a 4 bedroom top of the line villa i am sure there will be places a bit cheaper also.
regards a car you will get one any place if you work and cars are the cheapest in the middle east now if you end up with a ferrari then thats an individual choice.
These figures are most accurate to the best of my knowledge.
