I worked with amiri Flight in Abu Dhabi for 21 years. It is a prestigious operations with fabulous aircraft and interesting destinations.
When I retired last year, the salary for Flight attendants started at around US$ 2000 per month. An allowance of US$170 per night away from Abu Dhabi is paid along with first class hotel and breakfast. An accomodation allowance is paid, sufficient for a nice one or two bedroomed apartment.
Medical and emergency dental care was provided along with two economy fares to your nominated home country. Vacation was 42 days per annum.
Tips are given by a lot of the VIPs and they are pooled and divided every six months or so. As far as I am aware, the FA's made around 2 or 3 months salary extra per annum from this.
A transport allowance is paid or company transport is provided.
However, I think that there has maybe been a change in some of the conditions for new-hires. I heard that a particular over-all package amount was being paid, and individuals would sort out their own accommodation, tickets etc.
Abu Dhabi is not Dubai. It is a more pleasant place to live with opportunities for sport and socialising on a smaller scale than Dubai. The beaches are mainly attached to a beach club or hotel but there is access to many islands off-shore, if you have a friend with a boat.
It's certainly worth the move if trying to get away from the heavy schedule of airlines. Flights are at short notice and to anywhere in the world, though normal destinations are UK, Europe (mainly Geneva, Paris, Malaga etc), Arabian Peninsula, Morrocco and USA.
Training and SEP is first class.
I hope this helps.
