No wonder they can't find 1900 captains. Their pay is well below industry standard; US$45k as said. You will need this money to pay the rent for your house, transportation (buy a car or use a taxi) etc. In addition, there are the Iraq flights.
I was offered a job but obviously declined.
There are 1900 contracts available elsewhere, where you will earn US$5000 a month when you only need to buy food as housing and transportation is taken care of by the company.
My 2 cents..
