CI100,
when I joined GF last year, it wasn't all about the money which I thought was still okay at the time and I was happy.
Since then, they've had two increments, the 200BD one and now the significantly larger one announced yesterday. How much happier do you think I am now?
I never planned on staying with GF for 10 years. I made up my mind before I joined that it would be a minimum of around 3 years, in line with the then bond period. That hadn't changed either.
As far as family and lifestyle is concerned, I had factored all that in BEFORE I made the move here. Every pilot should experience an ME airline.
As far as the money is concerned, a dinar more than my joining pay would've been fine. All else had been a welcome and surprising bonus.
Am I sincerely happy? Being a small town boy, I certainly am in the little island kingdom.
