I don't ever speak for someone but with regards the Linkitis and his accommodation comment if he is an American he is spot on.
The villas the company give you and yes it is free but they are very small with absolutely no property. Americans are not use to "gardens" but acres.
Pile on now the anti American rhetoric but that is what we are use to.
Harry you are an apologist for the company. What Widebody pilot flies 92 hours a month? You are happy when you get 15 days off when a lot of Widebody pilots bitch when they get up to double digits work days.
The big clencher is how the company treats us and we can not put a price on that or convey to would be applicants and bad that really is. After all we are in the Middle East and we all know how the leaders treat their hired help.
