Different Jobs offer different packages.
For example -
A despatcher with DNATA would get
a shared appt included in his/her package
but a lower monthly salary.
An ops/crewing job with EK ( unless mgmt ) would
get no appartment but a higher salary to compensate &
of course you have the choice on where you want to live instead
of where the company put you.
Swings n roundabouts OSCA
Either way if you have the chance to come & work over here then
personally I can recommend it.
