Dubai / UAE

A few questions for yellow snow or anyone else working in UAE (relating to your post on the banding thread)

If the NATS pension is closed to new members I will probably be looking for a new employer..

- housing allowance - what would your monthly allowance get you in terms of rent/mortgage?

- Bills - roughly what are the monthly bills such as electric, water, (council tax/rates?) etc

- Cost of living - apart from fuel, what is the cost of living like compared to the uk?

- Wives/family - do they generally find it quite easy to fit in (especially if they are used to working and suddenly they are a 'Jamera Jane'?

- Success rate - is there much of a failure rate in validating or do they generally pick the people most likely to succeed?

- Roster - is it a rolling rota so you know days on/off in advance + what is the annual leave entitlement?

- Pension - is there any company scheme or do you make your own provisions?


Thanks
