In Qatar, we get a fully furnished 3 bedroom apartment, transportation, food and a $6,500 check every month while in training from day 1..Right after training the pay jumps to $13,000 per month even during IOE
In a microcosm everything you said is correct. It must then speak volumes that ME3 expats are trying to come home in droves while new hire DAL FOs not getting their hotels paid for and earning $4k/month on crappy new hire pay aren't even considering the ME3.
