Oman Air Employment - all you need to know about it (threads merged)

[300-600]

Guys,

I am looking very closely at Oman Air and quite like the look of what I see. The answers various people have provided have been most useful in getting this far.

I have several specific questions and if people can make time to answer one or more I would be most grateful.

1 - Is the holiday entitlement 42 or 46 days...plus approx 8 public holidays (or are these 8 built in to the 40 odd).

2 - Is there full health insurance for you and your dependants (some provide 100% for you and partial cover for your family).

3 - Any idea about the waiting times for secondary schools.

4 - Is there any higher education allowance (college) for 16 to 18 year olds.

5 - What would be a typical monthly cost for utilities (Air conditioning / water etc).

6 - Are the fees for higher education similar to those already quoted for junior schools.

7 - Someone mentioned a "decent" villa for 800 OMR....is this a four bed villa ..any links which might give me a better idea of what to expect.

8 - Any idea about the interview process?

9 - What are the bonding arrangements for type rated guys and girls?

10 - Is there a law in Oman similar to UAE where, when you eventually leave, you are get 21 days pay for every year you work for the company?

Thanks in advance.
