"MK has been hiring SAS f/os for years on short term contract during high season.
Normally these guys come by mid-Nov and stay until end of Jan.
Originally they were hired through Park, but as far as I know the last couple of years they were on direct contract. Some of these guys have been with MK 3-4 times.
They do not fall in the same league as normal recruits, as they normally take unpaid leave from SAS and come to MRU rated.
They enjoy 6000 EUR salary, 40000 MUR housing (almost double what is being dished out to us) and every single benefit that expat pilots have.
This is first hand info obtained from the people involved about 2 months ago."
Any thoughts about WHY the fairly high salary and housing? Maybe it's because they still have expenses at home for house/apartment, family etc. A short term contract for a place to live is not cheap. And I guess they relieve some of the guys down there, otherwise they wouldn't have been hired.
Just my 10 cents.
