Gulf Air Update
 

Hi. I’m fixing to apply for a DEC position in Gulf Air, but their salary it has not been adjusted for a long time. Does anyone know nowadays if their salary with all the allowances is still good enough?
Thanks in advance!!

define "good enough"

my friend their salary and benefits haven't been updated since 2007!! if you have other options, and i mean any other options , its better to avoid Gulfair......for many many reasons

Thanks Iron, would you be able to cover all the expenses (rent, kids schooling, etc) and still save some money?
Thanks.

Thanks Tiger, but why would GA be avoidable?

Thanks Olbie, with two kids in elementary still saving chance?

Iron And Tiger, what do you think about it?

my friend the salary hasn't been updated since 2009, and with the devaluation of the dinar you are loosing roughly 1000 euros per month (it was devaluated in November 2017)!!!
be careful of the school allowances as they only give you approx 5500 euros per year for up to 2 children meaning 2800 euros per kid per year...you would need triple than that in order to put your kids into a western school!!! beware!!!! the Roster is absolute HELL!!!! 6 days in a row with ground time in the a/c every other day more than 5 hrs!! BEWARE!! accommodation allowance is NOT enough unless you are going with no family!!! beware!!! thy offer 700 BHD and you will need 200-300 more which is 700-900 euros more per monthnfor a descent 2 bedroom apt....you will only fly to India and Pakistan and Africa...maybe once a month to europe as you are an expat!! the little more money you would make working there is simply not worth the effort.....

(it was devaluated in November 2017)

nope, still tied to the dollar!!!

schooling costs are the only major comment I hear from colleagues, are not covered very well...I think the line Capt average 13-15K US per month, not easy work, but no 320 job over here is...

Genuinely think you’d be mad to go to Gulf Air

on what do you base that statement? and supporting points?

Hi,
Is there any information on the T & C’s for Gulf Air. Does the company provide housing like some of the other ME carriers? Also do they have a similar retirement scheme? Lastly, what about roster and average monthly days off for a 320 Captain?
Thanks for any information.

Gulf air provides by far the worst package in the area.....do your own research...good luck

Zero, could you be more specific please?

Olbie, can I PM you please?

where do I sign??

Thanks a lot!!

30N, how long ago did you leave?

Do they provide transfers fro/to Airport?

not for flight deck personnel

So the terms and conditions from Gulf Air seems to be one of the best kept secrets in the ME ;)

Im sure they will provide you accurate details at the interview...
