The short answer to that is yes it seems most are content, there is an 8% pay rise coming between now and July. As you probably know there is some bad feeling about DE F/O's to 330. It's not too difficult to have a decent lifestyle and save some money at the same time. There is no pension but there is a lump sum if you stay for the long haul and the longer you stay the bigger it is. It's not worth much for the first 5 years but then becomes something to consider before moving on. If you are not in a hurry to command and want a company with a future and the chance to fly wide body then it's a good place to be. Bahrain is the best place to live in the Gulf by a mile. It's not too busy and you can choose to have the life of a party animal or a family man. There is a chance to work hard, earn good money and the staff travel benefits are as good as anywhere else. Oh yeah as F/O on 330/340 expect to get between $6000 and $7300 US depending on overtime but never less than 6K, tax free of course.
