Do not expect profit shares and any improovement on this package in a short period of time since GF is under a recovery plan (it is doing well by the way...)

If you want to buy a villa, it is better for you to check on the internet, I am not sure about figures, but I am sure that you can use your housing allowance to pay for a villa instead to rent one, many guys are doing it and making some money at the end of the day.

To save money or not depends entirelly on your lifestile. Here we can afford many things and there are expensive things as well. There are guys spending money a lot and other making a lot, just keep one hand on the tap to not waste it.

And do not listen to all these b...s... regarding to ethnical and religious issues, this is a complete waste of time. This is a good airline to work for and it is like any other in the world, it has good and bad people.

Good luck guys
