I am not all that good with finance etc. let alone budgetting.

But If they provided you a bed and lunch, al you had to worry about is dinner and breafast correct?
In a different place flying a nice machine?

While at home you can bash around in an old 210. maybe having to pay for your bed breakfast luch AND dinner.

Back in the good old days when we were still farming, we paid our staff a weekly wages, wich was by townie standards pretty piss poor. But they had free house, meat and milk provided and we paid there electric bill.
They gained a lot off knowledge and all moved on to better positions afterwards.

Point is, if you get that money take it all in account. and also the experience. I have never been in that part off the world but i imagen that the food would not be very expensive.

So you do a year over there and don't put any money in your saving acount, yet you gain hours, life experience. and lots off storys to tell your mates when back in the pub.

It would be different ofcourse if you owned a house and have to pay a morgage. But than i think you would struggle on the wages off your 1st flying job anyway.

just my 2 cents worth
