Don't do it
Wee one, dee nah do it son. The life on the 320 is 50 hrs block, 130 hrs duty - you only get paid for rostered block ie exceed the rostered, you don't get paid the extra, rarely go under block. Rostering, as you will have read in other posts, is nojoke. Step out of line and wham they got ya. Generally, means you are away from the house (although back most nights) for a long time but get paid 10,000 QAR a month less than the 330 guys (they deserve every cent they get, as do we) The initial outlay to get set up can be 60,000+ QAR (not including extra for house rental). A car may cost you 2,500 a month for five years depending on the make. Other airlines in the area are getting payrises and we get rumours. Inflation here for 2005 was around 13% and this year 9% mainly driven by housing prices, but of course that will drop now after the games.......
