Fuzzbear,
You're info is not quite correct. Yes, VVIP do require the pilots to be available but understand that the VVIPs in question are the Royal Family and oftenthe Head of State. As such, they do not move on short notice due to security and protocol measures needing to be arranged ahead of time. The shortest notice you can normally expect is at least 24 hours. Very rare and in extreme circumstances is the nitice time less than that; usually much more.
Hotel accom. is provided for three months in AUH as you seek accommodation arrangments for yourself and family; be it a villa or apartment in AUH or DXB. Travel is provided to your point of departure (nominated home) twice a year in business class or once a year in first class, whichever is to your advantage. It is paid in cash and you do as you wish.
Salary has increased and on par with any Euro operator but still not taxed. However, managment leaves a lot to be desired. Ex-Assie airforce without a clue how to manage in this environment; or most likely just lining his own pockets and get out ASAP like the last guy who was his class mate from the Airforce.
Still, could be a lot worse and as long as you can grease it on and no hard landings it is a pretty secure job.
