Paying for the tests does not have to do if you're a low Cost or Full Service. It is partly a cost issue but also a selection issue
. If the candidate is sure of his/her qualifications and potential he'll not worry of the costs, if someone is a bit hesitant as to his chances and qualifications he'll have second doughts and spare MEA the trouble of an extra application.
With regard to the pay let us remember that most of these pilots are very low hours candidates who can't apply to the other jobs in the Gulf that require a lot of experience. Their slary will increase yearly as they get more experience.
As for MenaJet, they have finaly found an aircraft
a 7 year old A320 and should start Charter operations this weekend flying for Lebanese Tour operators.... No Low Cost for now
