Yes, I believe they would issue another contract. Is the pay going to the BIG A same as Iraq pay?

Debbie

Debbie--great news that he is safe and on his way-- was his ticket round trip or just one way?

I got to marvel how people are managing to get any of the work done over there that needs to be done since so many are said to be leaving or planning to leave.

Hope for the best, but plan for the worst–save-save-save and that’s good advice no matter where or who you work for in these trying economic times . I have pretty much decided I'd go nuts–and have no plans to do so-- if I kept feeding myself with the daily doses of he said and she said. I think it is safe to assume someone has a plan and the odds are in your favor as long as you do the work you were hired to do and are open to “travel”.

Switch, I’d think they would be hard pressed to break the contract as far as pay. The agreed upon pay is not the same as the contract being “at will” which allows for them to let go of staff without reason or warning–then too, it also allows for staff to leave without reason or warning. I suppose they could offer them new contracts–but that’s highly irregular and it would, I think be a legal nightmare to contend with. & any change in pay would prove interesting since there are people going/ leaving to process in the next few days. They would have already given them at least a tentative quote of wages to expect. & I do not think there has been any recent complaints or questions with regards to. Seems as if the next week or two should prove interesting as we see if any of the lastest news coming down and out of Iraq pans out.

Ksniper–you are so right about behaving professionally. I think that is wrong of anyone not to–and if they aren’t, I hope there is a means for companies to blackball them from future contract work/ jobs. As others have made clear, it’s a job, not a career–and to quote my hubby who says, ‘you are only as good as your last job.’

Good morning. I just wanted to drop in and say hello. I am getting soooo very close to the Europe trip, can't wait:) So what is the rumor about guys being turned around in Dubai? I am guessing we are talking about ppl in Iraq? Wow, that's so crazy! I have a question about R&R AND hope someone who has done this may know. My husband took his 1st R&R on time, 4 mths to date however this R&R it will have been 6 mths, so when he goes back he only has 2 mths left of his year.....now does he wait the 4mths and gets R$R again, or does it start over and he just lost the last R&R? Hope someone knows...he said he would go to Travel and ask but still has not! grrrrr

I am pretty sure that he will be able to go on his end of the year contact r&r in two months since he did not get his 2nd r&r will the 6th month...but who knows with so many rules that have been changing...

My hubby took his first R&R late and this time it is only 3 months since the last one, unless I change it of course but doubtful. So my guees is that he is due his end of year in the 2 months.
