Mate, your question is completely irrelevant....

You just openly stated that you have turned down the course, so if you think that in the current climate you will be given another, you are very much mistaken. We are taking 48 new hires this financial year, 32 invites have gone out, there are around 100 in the pool, so your invite has gone to the next down the list, so... tough titties my friend, even if you did find the package appealing (unlikely) then too bad, you've missed out for a couple of years at least!

Maybe you should have done this sort of 'research' before you came for interview??

Incidentally, this is the first year ever the 3% hasn't been paid. Currently a 4 year F/O is on a basic of circa 25,500 dhs per month ($7000) plus flight pay 4000 dhs for 90 hours ($1100). About $95,000 per year..... I don't see that as being too distressing compared to a US CRJ regional CAPTAIN who will be working harder and earning less (just a wild guess)
