Dedeita, I think you have some fair comments......however,
1
. How many months a year do you want to do 90 hours of Short/Medium/long & ULH, going east to west, min days off etc
.
I been doing 90 for more than 10 years,as an example at my company roster..NRT-MEX-48hrs rest-MEX-MAD,i still in the short/medium haul
2. 4112 Euros = what I was earning after tax 4 years ago as an FO in europe, high cost of living etc, nope that doesn't stand up
.
my basic salary is 3000 euros/month, usually i dont see that amount because we fly a lot overtime but i dont want to tell you what happen when for some reason you dont hit overtime
3. C
ompany accom, swings both ways really, if you get your mortgage paid at home then it is a bonus, however if you want to go home to decompress from DXB once or twice a year it's nice to do it in your own home = having to pay your mortgage anyway= co. accom a bit of a benefit, also don't talk about buying/renting accom in DXB, bad karma dude
no more thank God mortgages payments, we have a nice place in the Mexican Riviera that we are not keep it if we move to EK
4
. Ahh yes, 42 days leave, where a working week with weekends = 9 days leave, so we get 42/9 = 4.67 weeks leave per year, thats if the leave people will give it to you, I personally have no complaints, but I know a lot of people who have had rough deals.
last year took only 10 days because the remaining 30 were paid,i couldnt say anything because was Union voted
5. Education allowance- I can get the same standard of education for my children for free at home, so I don't see it as a benefit at EK
.
Hey Man remember that i am from Mexico,I wouldnt recommend goverment public school not even to my worst enemy(kindergarden around 300 euros/month)
6. Car loan, the second word is loan, thats right you still have to pay it back. But yes I will give you the point thats it's interest free, so a small benefit there.
Yes interest free, car loan annual interest in Mexico around 15% plus an annual payment they call TENENCIA of 2.6% the value of your car(1300 euros my case)
I
hope my points may bring some perspective to your points, adios compadre
