So the pay rates for the desert did the Emirates road show tell you that.
I have a few mates up there and they can't wait to leave. The money might sound good but that figure will include school fees and housing. Scheduled O/T whether you like it or not. If you don't do the scheduled O/T they take it form your leave.
Want to take leave. Sorry we are so busy you can't have any.
Don't have a 777 330 or 380 then don't bother wasting their time, the list of Indians in line for a course will far outweigh the length of time you want to stay.
So when all is said and done it works out at about $85-$90K take home.
Maybe OK for a single bloke but these guys and their wives quickly got over it.
Don't believe the hype.
