Accomodation/moving-out

Frequentflyer,

crew are not really encouraged to move out. Shared accomodation is provided for new-joiners.

Standard crew apartment:

If you become a leader (SFS and Purser), you can move to a one-bedroom-apartment which is also company provided. They are tiny but nice.

If you get married and your husband resides in Dubai, you have to move out. Transportation allowance and living-out allowance will be provided for you. The amount right now is appr. 45,000 dhs per year for economy, business and first class crew. It's around 65,000 dhs per year for SFSs and Pursers.

Living-out allowance is only available for married crew since March 2009!!! (Due to cost-cutting and massive drop of property prices in Dubai.) If you both are crew, you get two allowances of course. If you are a cabin crew and your husband is a flight deck crew you are not eligible for living-out allowance. (Married first officers are eligible for 3-bedroom-apartments or a villa if there is a child. Captains are eligible for a villa.)

If you get pregnant, you have to stop flying but you can take maternity leave. You must come back 5 months after child birth and attend a 6-week-training. The maternity leave is unpaid but you can keep your FACE card (discounts) and you and your family is still eligible for staff travel. You keep your seniority as well.
