Back to the original subject......No the pay package is not enough. If you are like BBB and have no kids, no responsibilities then it might be ok. But if you don't want to live in a hotel and have to have a villa, you have to subsidize it anywhere from 5-30 thousand Dirhams, plus utilities. The numbers he gives for the package are accurate. He knows because he has something to do with going over the resumes in the office. (Maybe hoping for a faster upgrade?)
And if you have kids, you will have to subsidize their schooling as well.
One of the only groups now that this is attractive too, is the MAS guys. So of the last 30 or so pilots hired most of them came from.... you guessed it MAS.
But, as with most things in this area, hopefully it will get better. Inshalla.
