1. Do not even attempt to compare VA to Midex. You have no idea what you're talking about.
2. There are 2 contracts offered. You have a choice if you want to be there full time with full on benefits or part-time.
3. You are an X employee who is sour. Of course you're going to try and bad mouth them. Creating a new name to do it shows you're a man of integrity. Right.
To work in the UAE, you have to understand that having the right to work here and be here full time makes it almost impossible to commute and is costly for any airline if you don't. Especially when employers in the UAE have to provide housing or housing allowance as part of your employment package. If you work for EK, Fly Dubai and I believe Etteeeehaaad, commuting is NOT an option. So you could easily say that you're 11 on and 1 off with them if you wanted to state it in a negative way. But it doesn't mean you don't have a life and time off. So if you have the chance to work here part time tax free making decent money with free housing yeah, you're going to need to be here more than 20 on 10 off. Flying crews home and back 2 continents away is not cheap.This is not a pax carrying US airline where you would expect a normal schedule. And alot of those airlines don't pay or provide a ticket when you choose not to live at your base.
The DFO is a good guy, very well respected and worked for the GCAA. Very hard to believe that he would advise any crew member not to write up anything.
Be careful what you say on here. Pprune is no longer a forum that allows freedom of speech. Just ask the boys in Aboo Daabeee
