Has anyone been hired or gone through the interview in the last couple of months? I am also looking for information on the employment package and competitive flight times for an FO slot. I have searched for the package and have not found very much info. Thanks

Please read carefully
1)Kuwait is not a place for singles if your family is not with you you will be bored all day long.
2)You have to ask to the management ,Vp flight ops,the permission to leave the countryhttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/eek.gifhttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/eek.gif when you are off and you want to go to Dubai,Bahrein to enjoy some drinks.
3)They won't give you more than 2 days off in a row because they don't want you to leave the country.
4)As an expat you are considered a bihttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/censored.gifch by locals and a slave(this is the general concept they have about all the manpower running their country)so be ready to be called on stby,to have many roster changes etc because you will be flying all the shhttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/censored.gify flights that locals will reject like night flights ugly places etc or flying during week end.
Forget about the western way of crm and cockpit management,if you will say something they will be ready to invent a lot of bullhttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/censored.gift to explain their strange principles of flighthttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/evil.gif.
5)Kuwaiti dinar is a very strong currency but now it reached its highest value,go to www.xe.com (http://www.xe.com/) and have a look to the average value of this currency.
6)Housing allowance won't be enough unless you don't want to rent a crappy place in the middle of nowhere.Add 200kwd from your pocket to get a decent place,250-300 for a nice place by the sea because i am sure that the sea view will be more suitable for you.
7)Kuwait is an easy place with a good weather all year,in april there are some dust storms but other than that the weather is pleasant and if you like the sea you will enjoy it.If your child suffers from any breathing problem don't go there because dust is very bad there and wil be inside your home every day even if you clean 24hrs...plus the air is very dry and this won't help him/her.(i have never had problems but a local pediatrician told me about it)
8)You can get very good deals with car,bikes,boats etc
9)Food quality is very good
10)If you wil meet the right kuwaitis you will miss them by the time you will leave i met 5 or 6 of them
good luck and safe flights
