I have many Omani friends who they themselves don't like whats happening in Oman right now.
I'd give due credit where deserved if things were still headed in the UP direction... since this crackdown on "omanizing" the country, they've been doing a lot less bad than good.
Until reading about Oman Air here, I had no idea what was going on, on the inside. I had high respect for Oman Air as a company because they have come a long way to getting up in the air.
Oman Air is not the only compnay that has a problem with expats, it's everywhere ..
Actually only recently a good Omani friend of mine who is a IT Professional like me join Oman Air because they promissed him a good job with good pay and inducted him nto the company under the Omanisation thing...
Well he was supposed to join the catering division at a "management level". Till date neither he nor anyone else he told know what Oman Air meant by "management level".
He was told that the first 3 months would be minimum wage on probation. He left an office where he was getting overpaind and underworked. On his first 3 months probation period he was asked to clean crockery in the catering division.
Now after hish probation period is over, he is underpaid and overworked. He cleans the aircraft.
Did I mention the fact that he's an Omani? I can only imagine what's left of any expats working there.
I am however looking to join in for the crumbs of the pie .. just for startup...
Apologies for mixing up PDO in here, jsut was trying to say that only seems to be a good place for expats right now .. (but the european or western kind). But have no idea whats been happening there either lately.
IZK, you still working for Oman Air? btw.. IZK, if I'm not mistaken, Oman Air went stepped into a big muddy pot hole since the millenium didn't they? Maybe thats why the change in management?
ox!de
