Uuuuuughh that's it?

I mean like Are they hoping to entice people frustrated at WestJet Encore?
........sure ain't like that LIV Golf Tour thing.

That salary is tax free and housing (3br villa) is provided. Still not comparable to the US but becomes a better option for pilots elsewhere in the world.

3br villa only if you get lucky. Calling it a villa sounds fab, it's a house built to, what in the US is called builder spec level.

22 days of work. Time spent in the bunk not counting towards your duty/flight time limits. 120-130 hours of time in plane per month. And when it suits them, time spent in the biz class middle seat is "rest", DH TATL then operate back as one duty day.

There is a reason why Emirates only attracts people from places like Bangladesh these days.

The only benefit probably is flying with all those Eastern European FAs. Also at least you don’t have to pay for housing if you’re only there 8 days a month
