Many thanks Alexander,
Its good to hear some good words from the inside a midst the negativity surrounding the flexi crew scheme.

My main concern is the salary. I'm married with two kids (4 and 1) and the family will be moving with me. Given that my wife will be unemployed, at least for the first months, I need to know that I can support my family with this salary. Especially, given that I may be sitting around with no income for some winter months. Furthermore I have to consider housing, healthcare, kids schools etc. It sounds like it may be hard.

How much better does it get when I get a permanent contract?

You guessed it right, I live and work in Cyprus and the big dilemma for me is this:
- The Easyjet job with the difficult first two years but a stable and quality life in the UK or,
- Etihad or Emirates, where money becomes no issue anymore, but the idea of living in a fake city in the middle of the dessert is not appealing at all to me.
