Mate, my question was no wind up It is a check and training position with an aviation outfit. Was told that everything was covered (i.e. house allow, med, dental etc) and salary would be $130,000 Australian dollars.
Therefore would need to pay for kids schooling (expensive I believe), living expenses, maid (if wanted one) etc.
Was told recently by someone we know that lived in Dubai, that Abu Dubai was very strict and needed liquor licence to purchase a small amount of alcohol? Did not recommend going there.
From the few comments its sounds the deal is ok? Asked question here because you guys were all talking about pay and conditions in the UAE and thought people on this topic would have a good idea.

Capt. Undies
You can purchase alcohol from the duty free, bring it through and nobody will hassle you in AUH. Only very few of the guys here have liquor licences
Its alot more liberal here than most people think

Capt Undies, if you compare to a first year FO at EK, the package appears pretty good. Factor in schooling for the 9 year old, in DXB this would be 25-32K /year, don't know about AUH but similar I assume. The 9 year old will want to do sport, no community clubs or sausage sizzles here, so expect to pay for that.

Oooooohhhhhh Guys guys guys!!
I am a very busy man but have a few mins to reply.
Give me a break......I didnt mean to offend anyone here
it was my opinion and mine only.
I dont think I was too hard on the poor boy .......was I Capt Skipper?
PRNAV1 ....I read your reply and it looks a little jumbled ...however I got the point. ......
this forum has been filled with info about EK and its terms and conditions. If you are so experienced at 23......then put an application in and join. see for yourself what it is like.
From what I have read so far (its only been two posts)..... you are perfect for the job in hand. They cant get anyone of your callibre and I think EK would snap you up in an instant. "You are a very rare breed in aviation my boy "
But remember
....its people in aviation who are prepared to fly planes for nothing.......or even worse...for anything they can get ..........that has ruined the industry I joined a few years back.
The industry is full of guys who have been beaten by failing airlines, marriages failing, girl friends leaving , wives taking half of everything and in some cases all of the kids....and in a few cases its the 3rd or 4th so called trophy wife.
This has meant that my furture earnings, terms and conditions as an airline pilot have been eroded because they will work for anything they can get....its called survival.....this reality is very dissapointing.
I would have told someone like you, to stay out of aviation and go to Uni. complete a law degree, specailising in Airline pilot divorce settlements....you would be a very rich man in no time
I am making the most of my character building experience here in the ME and I have to say its been a great laugh so far.
Keep safe guys and dont lose that sense humour
TR
ps I have missed you kiwi....hows the husband.
