Firstly a massive thank you for trawling through all that to provide the information, very kind and much appreciated.
So basically sounds like you're skint till you move on to the FO salary. 10,000QAR is working out at about $2,700 a month and if they are taking $1400 away, living on $1300 would be very very difficult.
Hmm choices choices. Think I will have to exhaust all UK options first.
Thanks again
