Mr Hitlers Q's
Okay, to answer your questions;
Expect to take home your basic pay, the rest is done on monthly flying hours. Since the first 50 hours are included in basic you will not often fly over this as they have to pay you extra. Also your 6 weeks will fall over 2 or 3 months, so they can jst fly you 50 hours and still get 100 or more hours out of you in 6 weeks.
Hours per month, read above.
If your on a contract, you stay in company accom. Regardless of what your contract says you will share with others, contractors have complained but Storm do nothing to back them up, and bow to NAS every time.
If your NAS direct you can claim allowance. If you want to live 'local' you can save money otherwise you will have to share to get a decent compound and will use your allowance.
The piece of string is very long.
Last I heard we had 2 Capts that have done 10 months out of their 12 month contract and yet to fly aircraft. Your 6 weeks on STARTS at end of Line Training (IOE). So far they have managed to get away for a few weeks here and there but had to pay for own tickets. Some guys go thro quickly, quick means 4 months or so, others get held up in Visa, Igama, License issues.
Capts quite often get held up as they have to be checked 3 times (oral, sim and line) by GACA (Saudi Aviation Auth) and that can take months as well.
Nothing here happens fast,
