CAL expat conditions
After reading all the bad and occassional good post regarding CAL, Can anyone provide info on the following:
1. The 8 days off per month. Is it a block period in leiu of the normal 2 days off per week we get in the west or is it additional to "normal" days off (RDO's)
2. How long are typical layovers, are there layovers at all?
3. Has anyone had any luck converting a CAL type rating at all?
4. How is the salary paid, monthly, fornightly?
5. What type of accommodation is provided when away, are meal/transport allowances provided?
Thanks
