The package definitely did change. During your interview you will be told about the bidding process, contractual 3% step increases yearly, profit share, productivity pay, utility allowances that are pegged to the rental market, livable rosters, etc. Then you arrive and get a step every few years if you are lucky, no profit share, onerous rosters, housing increases 30% and allowances remain unchanged, etc. Think hard before making the plunge. No point in moving to the middle east and flying yourself into an early grave if you can't save much money in the process.
