Hobart RockStarr; I'm working for EY since 10 months now. In the first 6 months I usually got around 7500-8800. Now, after completing the first 6 months its min 9000 max 11000, it all depends on luck with the flights. Almost all the layovers are 24 hours, sin-bne, jnb, casablanca (can never remember the code for that one), kul, bru, yyz can be longer.
If u do a normal layover, it will go over 3 days on your roster. You will then be payed 250*3+24*layover allowance for that region.
Ive jsut been rated for A320, so can't say anything abt it yet, but theyve changed the schedule so there's loads of layovers now. One seems really nice 4 hours to india, 24 hour layover, 4 hours back to AUH, 3 h to syria and 24 hour layover and then back.
At some hotels u get discounts, some don't. Its funny how ordering roomservice in Manchester can be cheaper than in Thailand due to the 50% discount vs 0%.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are different worlds! We have maybe 3 or 4 clubs here, if u could really call it that as all girls are Etihad and all guys are understimulated arabs (plus the few male crew). Theres not as much traffic, a lot more locals, less nice cars (but somehow I've spotted 4 ferraris, one ashton martin, 2 rolls royce and one bentley in 3 days now??). We got Picasso at Emirates Palace, and new museums after a couple of years... It's all down to what u like, if its all about partying go for Dubai. If u like a more relaxed and down to earth lifestyle go for AD.
Hi all, thanks for the info regarding the EY Vs EK pay. I'm still a little uncertain as to whether I'd be getting a better deal with EY, I like the idea of longer layovers, and the schedule leads me to believe that in most destinations I'd probably be looking at 48hours down route? Can anyone tell me if thats common? Also with regards to the layover allowances, can you tell me again- if I landed at say 2am on a morning, down route, would I recieve both the daily pay and the allowance?
Do you get discount at the hotel as crew?
So many other questions!
I never made it to Abu Dhabi from Dubai- is there anyone out there than can compare the two?
