How about ex-armourers? I know the qualifications, skill set, training and aptitude is very different to that of a mover. But the pay is the same.

Funnily enough - ex Dumpies could well be suitable for the role as long as they've got FLT

Give me a little over 17 months and I'm in!

$4k a month isn't that much unless I'm missing something?

If they're taking armourers, it is.

Yup - wages have spiraled downwards there. Most companies are using Nepalese or Bangladeshi's now.. and they come cheap.

When I was contracting in KBL I was on nearly double that..

Is that £4k a month while you're working. What about time off.

I'm a citizen not a subject

 

[FOMz]

The contract I was on whilst out there was 12 weeks on, 3 weeks off. But we weren't paid while we were off.

 

[FootTapper]

$4k (USD) per calendar month, every month. zero accommodation, food or laundry costs (you just pay for coffee and internet really)

12 weeks on, 3 weeks off rotation (plus travel days) with return flights paid to your home of residence on each rotation.

The Cargo Handler role is entry level, with room for advancement if you're any good.

Were you working as a Cargo Handler in the TMO/Freight yard?

Since you've already compared the salary for a different location, with different payment terms (unpaid R&R) I'd like to think you're at least comparing the same job role.....

I'm not any good. Can I check how bad you can actually be, before getting sacked?

Just checking my viability.

I knew several guys who used to be really good at their job - all got made redundant while you have forged a successful career on the twin pillars of mediocrity and disinterest.

You'd do great

I was on exactly the same pay and contract terms as the guys that were doing that job role for us.

Fair enough - if the guys doing the basic cargo handler job were on $9k+ per month or more then good on them

Mind you, there's no snow in Kandahar



The job role is still open for anyone who fancies it
