Middle East is what you make of it. 777 f/o at EK and single and loving it. Opted out of company accom since day 1 and renting a huge 2 bedroom apartment for half of the allowances that EK gives, so am pocketing an extra 80k per year
Driving a Porsche Cayenne and every now and then taking some of my female work colleagues out or home
Got a maid who comes in every week for the usual housewife chores at dhs50 per hour, she stays for 2 hrs...am good with that.
Monthly income approx 38k...still ok wit me.
Normally eat out but once in a while my neighbours philipino maid like to visit.....
...shhhh (thats actually illegal eh)
There are moaners in EK but am not one...so far. I get my roster and accept whatever flight they give, go to work and fly as per their OM bible and take the little silver volvo back home and am happy.
I know for a fact there are worse jobs out there so i wake up everyday and thank 'allah' for whatever i have.
