- They pay for the positioning flight to/from home. The catch is that they dead head you on a day of when your coming to work, and when you finish if you accept, after your flight duty ends they send you home, otherwise you wait for your first day off. Also sometimes they call you from your days off... they pay the standard rate per day, nothing extra for this. But it depends how you guys can negotiate your contract. If you decide that in your week of you would like to go somewhere else in Europe, i think that arrangements can be made to get a ticket somewhere else. Same for into Timisoara if you are somewhere else. Most of the dead heading are thru MUC, FCO where you can get on the company's flights, but thats not always the case.

- They help you make a bank account in a Romanian bank (local branch of ING NL) ( we all use the same bank ). They deposit EURs into your account. You also get a VISA international debit card. The catch is that if you go home and use the card the commission is going to be heavy. And to take cash out of ATMs you cannot get euros. ING has a lot of self banks and ATMs, but in every big city you only have one office were you can get euros in cash out. Another solution is to transfer cash into an account of you preference. The cost of this I think is around 5%(by memory).(worst case scenario cant be more that 10% to xfer cash internationally).
