1. Salary/ Cost of living ratio (not particularly attractive compared to European Airlines)
2. Generally declining package
3. Unacceptable accommodation
4. Leave that is calculated fraudulently i.e. removing days off to give leave
5. Fraudulent calculation of flight hours
6. Generally poor safety practices with regard to fatigue and declining experience levels
7. Clearly poor labour relations
Great summary of working conditions in the ME at present....
