F/O Basic
Less then 1000 hrs = 15,000 Dhm
1000 to 2000 hrs = 16,000 Dhm
More then 2000 hrs = 19,000 Dhm
Housing = 10,200 Dhm (122,400 per year) a dedicated housing allowance so pilots who would like to benefit from the advanced pay can utilize the full amount in one lump sum.
Transport = 1,000 Dhm
Total fixed pay = 26,200 - 30,200 Dhm
Seniority increase = 350 Dhm on completion of one year and 500 Dhm for every successive year to a maximum of 5000 Dhm.
Education Allowance = Total allowance up to a max of.75,000 Dhm. (50,000 Dhm for Outside UAE) for an academic year for all children within the age group of 4 to 18 years. There is no per child limit.
Flying Allowance Day flights will be paid @1 time the credit block hours allowance &Night flights will be paid @1.5 times the credit block hours allowance.
Credit Block Hours = Scheduled Two Sector Flight Time rounded to next highest hour. A Sharjah-Sana-Sharjah two sector trip has a scheduled block time of 2:35 Sharjah-Sana and 2:30 Sana-Sharjah for a trip total of 5:05. The credit block hours is 6 hours of pay.
Night Pay is the flying that commences between 1830- 0630 local no matter what time the trip ends. In the Sana, Yemen case above, the credit block hours is 1.5 the day credit block hours or 9 hours of pay in this Sana example if it departs between the hours designated as night. Approximately 39% of Air Arabia flying hours are night flying.
Flying Allowance Rate 1- 25 hrs = 20/hr; 26 -50 hrs = 40/hr; 51- 75 hrs = 80/hr; 76+ = 160/hr
Duty pay @ 10 Dhm/ actual flying duty hour
Day off Flying @ 240Dhm (?) plus flying allowance rate
Annual Leave = 45 days
LOL, Death Insurance, Medical Insurance remains the same.
Sick and Personal Leave remain the same.
Annual Bonus = Unknown, but 2006 was 3 months.
Stock = Unknown, but last restricted award was 150,000 shares to F/Os with progressive vesting dates.
Synopses: The difference between flight time and credit time is apx 7.2% based upon Air Arabia’s schedule. The differential between day and night pay is fair. The incentive for reduced flight times for the crew is large with the according benefit. The difference in potential pay is great but it depends upon the pilot’s personal desires. The pilot has the ability to choose between large salary and quality of life.
Should a pilot choose to maximize his/her pay the potential is great. A pilot can choose to fly 100 hours of night flights. 100 hours of actual flying is about 107.2 credit hours of flying.
Night flying is a 50% premium or 161 hours for pay. You do the same math as for a Captain.
Caveat: there are several areas that must be addressed. The scenarios above are maximums to a degree. They do not take into account under flying which would allow the pilot to accumulate more credit block hours per actual hour flown. It also assumes the night legalities are adhered too but all in all it is a good example. It is possible to make more per month but the minimum is fairly accurate for a 100 hour flying month. Air Arabia pilots fly the legal maximum yearly = 900 block hours. The credited hours can be considerably higher.
Under flying is that amount of flying that is actually done below the scheduled flying. In other words in the Sana case above a pilot flying the 5:05 trip is paid 6 hours.
Assuming it would be possible (legalities etc) to fly this trip all month a pilot would be able to fly this 19.7 times in a month (20 times) and get paid for 120 hours. Should the pilot fly the flight in 4:30 per trip his pay is still 6 hours; however, he would be able to fly this 22.2 times a month. This would pay him 133.3 hours a month or a 13 hour premium for under fly. If this flying were all night flying (once again assuming legalities) the credit time would be 200 hours for pay. A pretty heavy pay check at 55,000+ Dhm!
Assumption is for F/O with over 2000 hours time in type.
AED (Dhm) = 3.66/$1US
Sorry, but the original question was for a Captain.
Pharaoh, actually the answer is almost 3 days old. Pretty slow for PPrune:-)
