30th Anniversary
Hey the anniversary came and went and no 30% raise! I heard it from a guy who heard from it a guy who heard it from a guy who knows, so naturally I assumed it must be true. 
(actually I'd be happy to eat my words on this one)

For the record: Go to HRdirect, pay, options. It shows how many hours overtime you have worked on a by year/by month basis. Mine was max in 2004 with 165hrs overtime. Down to only 152hrs in 2005. The 90+hr months have been around for a long time.

Just stating that rosters have been at over 90 hrs for the past 11 years. Anyone thinking it's going to change probably also believed they were getting 30% for the company turning 30.
The missing under time payment goes with the missing leave as a reason more DECs are needed.

Do it at the soonest Seaman, you will not regret it. I couldn't be happier leaving the dump of the Middle East and every single one of my friends says the same thing. The only regret I have is that I couldn't have done it sooner.
Does anyone think it is going to get better?

I wonder how much of a "dump" Dubai was before you signed on the dotted line. Did you just come without viewing.....or were you desperate for a job then? Although I immensely enjoy vacations in the US, I have spent many a nervous 20 minutes or so driving through some real dumps throughout many a State where the windows stayed up and the doors stay locked.

Do you think I live in the places in the U.S. that can be classified a dump Harry? My standard of living is so much higher in the states I don't worry about the dodgey places. Even as a narrow body FO I can have a 3000 sq ft house with land and a country club membership.
The UK is so nice I never have to worry about rolling my windows up. Crawley, Manchester and downtown Glasgow are places I don't want to caught there after dark and alone. Every country has its pitfalls.
Next time you think of enjoying the states just send your money and stay home.

Its ok Harry, Neptune Spear bases his standard of living on the size of house he lives in. He makes sure he can afford wi-fi so he can browse the Middle East "dump" threads convincing everyone that they should resign sooner rather than later instead of visiting his country club and flying the right seat of his narrow body.
Anyone capable of reading and writing can see how desperately these guys need reassurance that their decision to leave was the right one. Its becoming increasingly pathetic seeing guys who have left still posting here
