Pretty Schweet . . . . . but I'd rather have another 14 weeks off

14 weeks equals 19000? Even tax free that sucks.

I know, it really sucks. BTW, how much is first year pay at SW?

If you take housing, tax free, salary, flight pay and do not include the bonus it's equivalent to making 130000 in the US. For 1st year FO that does not suck. The bonus is based solely of basic salary.

Considering the bajillion oils fields they've got it their backyard, it's probably chump change. Not too hard for an airline to make a profit and pass some of it along when they're probably still paying .50 a gallon for jet-A.

Didn't think so......

OBTW, I think your van's leaking highly toxic radiator fluid into your Kool-Aid.

Geez, Short Bus...you need to buy an iPod Nano. They don't skip as much as that lame broken record you're using.

Hey, Becky-

I see you removed my name from your signature line- what happened?

I guess that explains the strange Harleys I saw parked outside your trailer when I was landing on Rwy 9 the other day . . .

That's cool, we can still be friends. :laugh:

How much was this profit share for Captains at EK?

 

[Lear70]

You know, so many people show their a*sses on things like this, when a simple "Congratulations, hope you are able to invest most of it and enjoy some of it with a nice vacation".

Jeez, people... I know times are tough, but let's not take it out on each other, hmm?

Yeah but how much does it cost to live in Dubai even with housing paid for. I hear it ain't cheap. And just exactly how can you bring that money back to the states without it being taxed in some way?

Does sound like a great deal if the above issues are really not issues at all.

I know, it really sucks. BTW, how much is first year pay at SW?

65,000-70,000 and thats with 14-15 days off/month. Care to ask what second year pay is?

 

[metrolet]

Dubai has very little oil. It's primarily financial and tourism. A little education can go a long way.

Dubai is expensive. Its in between New York (15th most expensive city) and LA (42nd most expensive city) according to LAMercer Human Resource Consulting Cost of Living Survey - Worldwide Ranking 2007 Dubai came in at 34th most expensive. The survey includes housing which emirates pays for and is one of the largest factors of why dubai is so expensive.
