Bye Bye--General Lee
FurloughedAgain said:Just curious Typhoon, did you move your whole family over there? If so, how is your wife finding Dubai?
I've never considered a middle eastern airline (because i'm a jew and value my head)... (well, really because i'm married and value my head.)
But I have to admit. Out of curiosity I checked out your website and looked at the employment package. WOW. the pay is REALLY good, tax free, free housing, free schooling, interest free car loan, 42 days a year off!
Sounds too good to be true! good luck on your upcoming interview.

The psychological assesment is scarily accurate and will be debriefed by a trained psychologist. It is an important part of the interview so it's best to be honest.

Midnight Mike said:And pilots actually pass this Psychological Assesment, or, are pilots exected to fail?
typhoonpilot said:Some of us do. We score very well on marking appointments on the correct day. Speaking of that, are you back in London ?

ForgedBlade said:As an expat, do you have to file a US 1040 every year? It's bizarre to think that all the $$ goes in your pocket - what a concept!! Looking forward to seeing Dubai in October.
typhoonpilot said:Difficult question to answer. The package of an expat is very different than what you would get in the States. The better question is, "how much money can you put in your pocket every month ?". The bottom line, so to speak. As a junior captain my basic pay is $7600 per month. I pay 0 taxes, 0 for accomodation, 0 for utilities, and only need one car as the company car picks me up for work. Besides food and entertainment my expenses are minimal so I pocket most of what I make. The top guys in the airline for 20 years are closer to $14,000 per month.
