Not been there myself , but know a man who has. So this info is SECOND HAND!!!!
If you're a brit going out there expecting to return home for days off, then forget it. Brit FTL means not really feasible to travel (at own expense) in the time off given. If you are prepared to go and live there , take time off there, then fill yer boots. However, captain I spoke to talked of having to use his own credit card to support Hotac down route!!!! Late wages in the bank and local cabin crew paid offshore does not engender huge confidence. Apparantly, NI contributions (the stamp) literally is a stamp in a book down there, and non payment whilst employed is heavy ju-ju. It seems the last thing these girls need is a knock on the door from the local DHSS man who wants to inspect their stamp collection (honest!),and they are sh@**ing themselves. But they are good looking.....
The moral seems to be ...go with your eyes open.....enjoy....
