Response time is slow, based on the fact that you only put the application in on Monday, expect weeks rather than days. This is not unusual however, this is the Middle East. 'Island time' is alive and well here
Not sure on staffing numbers but we must be getting close to capacity soon with training and slots etc.
Rough numbers for the GCAA contract from line controller to Supe monthly income in USD ranges from $15,000 - $17,000 tax free with an annual bonus of minimum 1 month
basic salary and a max of 3 and a gratuity. Basic medical cover is included (not dental so if you have false teeth like me...take out private cover!
).
Not included is annual airfares, housing, schooling etc. that is all up to you.
They do assist however with housing rental payments and will pay up to 150,000 AED (UAE dirhams) of your annual rental agreement and put it in their name.
Accommodation here is as rare as snowflakes in the desert in summer but this could improve as the global slowdown starts to impact this part of the world....and yes it has started to even here!
Long and the short of it, it will take time...perhaps a lot of time so if its an urgent departure you need then it might be worth trying to give them a call and chase it up....tell'em The Fox sent you!
Good luck with it
