Bman
He has been hired as a Hawker 900 Captain. I don't know the answer to your question, however benefits on an 85K package (tax free) I'd imagine would not amount to more than 5-10K extra per year (Any more would be exceptional in the ME).
Per diems would also have to be added depending on the amount you fly I would imagine. I'm not sure if he's on 3/1 or 2/1 or fulltime, I must ask and get back.
I believe their hiring focus is on folks with Middle East experience at least to start with. He has been over here for five years flying Hawkers. If you've ever lived and flown over here you'd understand why.... probably essential in a start up, to build core experience. The playing field can be very different to 'back home'.
Sounds like a well backed organisation with plenty of $$ to get things going.
Time will tell as always!
