paco, you mean that you actually earn less at Aerogulf than you did in UK!!! It just goes to highlight how poor the wages are. I hear someone's just leaving there to go to Nigeria, things are so poor. I certainly left the Middle East with its dreadful pay and truly crap, uncaring employers and went to Africa. OK, the employers are only marginally better, but at least you have something like legal rights and the pay is far, far better. I'd never return to the Middle East unless the pay went up at least 30%. Aerogulf is probably the best employer, but the pay is a joke.
