Looking through the website, it would seem the salary of USD6600/month for an F/O is pretty low even though it's "tax free".

From the website:
First Officers
  • Tax free salary of approximately $6600 USD (assuming 70 block hours).
Ancillary Benefits
  • Company provided accommodation.
  • Transport allowance of approximately $410 USD.
  • Utility allowance.
  • Meal allowance whilst on layovers.
  • School fees subsidy .
  • Family medical insurance.
  • Comprehensive life insurance.
  • Loss of licence insurance.
  • End of service gratuity.

Someone mentioned filling up at full tank of gas in a Hummer would only cost USD 10 in Doha, please let me know where you buy your fuel so I can order a few million gallons!

If you don't fly 70 block do you still get 6600/month? Whats the minimum pay?
What are the actual block hours/month on average?
Days off a month?
Does bunk time count?
No pention plan? Save money off the USD6600/month??
No company transport (small allowance)....but I guess at 10 bucks to fill up a Hummer $410 will last 10 years.......
Only an appartment for F/Os.
The illusive promise of a left seat in a few years.


Not sure if it's a great package.

Oh they forgot to mention the F**king sand?
