Thank you Sir. No, I'm not taking anything for granted, not intentionally at least. I was just going with what I thought would be "the norm" but I guess there's no such thing.
You mentioned overnight hotels and crew meals, good input, anything else off the top of your head? Keep in mind I'm as clueless as I could be. For example: do you guys working abroad have the paycheck deposited in a local bank, US bank, third country bank?
