ok, I'll say it again..............there are no ATR72's in Oman Air..........they do have ATR 42-500'S! and I dare say the CEO is aware of that!

Sorry, I've read you too fast... :uhoh:

Thanks for posting the package Scube.
It seems that an Oman Air B737 Captain is on less money than a FlyDubai FO. 1 OMR = 9.55484 AED Oman Air B737 CA: 4,425 OMR = 42,280 AED FlyDubai B737 CA: 57,000 AED FlyDubai B737 FO: 43,000 AED Oman is a better place to live than Dubai and the career upside at Oman Air is better (A330 and B787). But the money doesn’t stack up very well. |
COS
What's the cash like, monthly for skippers and any idea on the tax situation in Oman...for 330 drivers???
|
Well at this stage it seems there is going to be no difference in the pay scale, as to wether you're on the widebody or narrowbody.
so basically for skippers it stacks up like this : basic : OMR 2422 supplementary : OMR 959 pilot allowance : OMR 182 utilities : OMR 50 And then there are your duty allowances : hrs 1-50 : OMR 1 per hour hrs 51 -100 : OMR 4 per hour hrs 101 - 120 : OMR 9 per hour hrs 121 - 140 : OMR 14 per hour hrs above 141 : OMR 18 per hour And you can bank on an average of 100 hrs duty per month. However, having seen the summer schedule beginning the 29th of March, it seems like there is going to be plenty of flying, so that average may well be above 100hrs duty per month!! Housing allowance at the moment is OMR 575, which is under review at the moment...........and 75% of school fees paid for by Oman Air, on production of school receipts. Annual leave of 46 days taken in two blocks of 23......however with a swap of leave you can actually take the full 46 days, if you're lucky enough to get a swap. Then there is the usual 7-9 days of public holidays that you end up getting aswell. Hope that clarifies the situation somewhat for most of you!!! |
Any idea of why they have such high ATR time requirements ? Is there really no negotiation room ? Who would be the person in charge to discuss this topic with ?
Thank you |
The reason for the high ATR time requirements, is due to the fact that the ATR's are predominantly used exclusively for the Occidental Group. As this is the case they have their own requirements as to the experience of the crew flying their workforce around the desert. The ATR does do one domestic flight, up to the northern part of Mussandam, to a place called Khasab, i believe 3 or 4 times a week, the remainder of the flights are into the desert strips for Occidental.

FlyDubai make more money? If what you are interested is in wealth hear this:
Is not how much money you make on your paycheck but how much can you afford with your paycheck....and Dubai is soooo much more expensive compare to Muscat... In my opinion, an Oman Air CAPTAIN should be able to afford the same or a better lifestyle and save more money... Scube. |
Well in my humble opinion an Oman Air Captain CAN (not should) afford a better lifestyle and believe you me CAN save more money!!!!!:p:ok:
|
Hear , hear !!
The only crippler here is the school fees , otherwise life is very good. |
By the way , if Omanair DO go down the Embraer route , there are already quite a few crew here ( currently on NG ) who have extensive experience on them .
If you like a home-life with few nightstops , then it will be the fleet to be on . |
Great informatiion, thanks.
A couple of question: How much would you spend on education for an 8 year old? What can you rent for 575RO and how far from airport, do you need the car toget to the office or you get piked up? how about medical insurance thanks |
For an 8 year old at the British School you're looking at term fees of OMR 1100 per term for the 2008/09 academic year (3 terms). Oman Air will pay you 75% of the fees, or should i say reimburse you 75%, upto a maximum of OMR 2500 per child per year. so you can do the math!! The ABA not too sure about, but the private schools are pretty much similar in their school fees. Oh, and expect to pay a one-off non-refundable entry fee of OMR 1250 per child, which will NOT be reimbursed!:{
OMR 575 will get you a decent apartment, or a half decent villa near the airport side, but to come nearer into town and in a good location, expect to pay upwards of OMR 800 per month for a decent villa. Transport is your own responsibility. However while you are in the hotel, as they sort out accomodation for you, you can expect to be picked up and dropped of, but when you get your own place, you're on your own!:( |

Dear Wunwinghi - and all others,
Would you be able to tell me where (areas near-ish) the airport you would be able to find decet accommodation for around OR 600? I don't nead a palace, but a small villa or large apartment would be nice. I have looked on the web, and the few real estate agencies I could find have nothing (anywhere) for below OR 1000. That seems rather steep! So, any ideas where to look? Names, numbers websites of agents or other contacts? Google maps (from what is recognizable) shows an area called Heil/Hail that seems decent... Your thoughts? Also, from what I understand it seems to be the custom in Oman to pay A WHOLE YEAR'S rent IN ADVANCE? How is tis handled? Do people really have 10, 12 thousand Rials just sitting there to pay up???? Any info would be very welcome. Thank you, all |
Trans-Gulf, you can get accomodation near the airport and decent accomodation at that for around OMR 600. the area you mentioned was Al-Hail and you also have Mawahla and Seeb. The best bet it seems at the moment is to actually drive around the areas and ring the numbers that the landlords have outside the vacant buildings. A lot of the landlords seem to shun the letting agencies, and rent themselves.
As for the yearly rental, Oman Air only pay 6 months in advance, however they do take out a yearly contract. And judging by the way its going at the moment the landlords seem happy with that, simply because they know that the rental is coming from a company and not an individual. I dare say if you were to take the housing allowance off Oman Air and rent yourself, you would probably have to fork out a year's advance! |
