Rogi
Lettermans info looks as though that's the info they have given him on offer, and before he is/isn't going through the door. If you look closer Rogi he does mention accomodation is in addition.
Some advice here since I know an EK FO waiting for the perfect point to return to the UK due a diminishing bond/poor exchange rate. Never make any move to any carrier in this region before knowing precisely what you are going to get with regards to terms and conditions. Double check it with current staff if you can. Make sure you are standing on UK soil when you sign the contract and keep your passport to prove it. European law protects Euro citizens from unscrupulous employers under certain conditions. If asked to re sign a contract after joining, for some minor change, double check everything as there may be other larger changes. Exchange rates are also an issue for someone from the UK.
Never listen to rumours in this region about pay rises, accom rises etc. In the past these generally coincide with recruitment campaigns and don't materialise as everyone strives for the 'cost cutting' God.
If you come to this region never look on it other than a two/three year stint unless you really do like sand and building sites. If you like traffic congestion as well, you may like to consider the 'Dubai Traffic Festival' which is now 365 days of the year!
Hope this helps. If in doubt. Stand still.
