Granted, FZ is offering a good salary for a LCC.
But lets compare apples to apples. all things considered according to my calcs, Basic + allowances +flight pay
Emirates F.O. 44 450 from their website
Flydubai F.O. 31 600 + 9000 avg flight pay
So, not close to an Emirates Captain.
That being said, FZ seems to have a more favourable working environment for now. I am personally looking at leaving my current carrier. From what I've been reading FZ roster pattern would afford me more nights in my own bed. More vital than cash for me, I have a young family so time spent with them is vital. Or am I being overly optimistic? I don't mind working hard, as long as I get a salary that reflects this and get left alone on my off days.
