Tom Bola,
Is that 500 USD over and above the normal wage or 500USD in lieu of regular pay for the extra two weeks?
Some of the senior Air Log pilots are making 875 USD per day of workover in Louisana.
The retirement plan....pretty much what we call a 401(k) plan in the USA....is a good deal. For the first 7% of your wages you invest the company matches that amount giving you a one hundred percent return before any return on the investment. The bad part is the vesting period....usually five years. Leave before five years and you only get the return on your part of investment and the company keeps their contributions.
