Danger low cost in Middle East means: Pilots are sharing their homes

IS THIS THE NEW LOW-COST-STANDARD IN MIDDLE-EAST ???

This means the airlines making more profit and have their pilots sharing their flats. The company also takes the transportation-allowances shown in the contract and instead of paying the pilots they only can call stupid driving service with non-english speaking and none-area knowing drivers, but only driving to work. And all promised goodies are not given and ignored by the managment. The FOs were hired with the promise to be upgraded in March and April 2006 - 3 months after Startup they got a maybe upgraded after evaliation in 2007. They have 2 aircrafts and get 2 more and have 7 FOs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The company I am talking from : JAZEERA AIRWAYS - KUWAIT

This all is true - told by an ex-colleague at the end of last year. Unfortunately I have not heard anything since December and wondering ...

Is this the new low-cost-standard in Middle East?
