Some Chinese carriers are paying an excess of USD 24,000 per month after tax which is far more than EK with all the extra's. Let's not start with the "yes but its China" argument since these are "expat" airlines as well. Why shouldn't the EK pilots compare their salaries to legacy American carriers? Emirates management have for years gone on record saying they just do things better, so why not the pay?
Of course EK management want to compare their pay scales with those of lowest LCC's and why not? They have "the shareholder" (also known as the ruler of Dubai, or "government" ) to pay.
All in all it is a moot point in reality. EK will continue to attract young pilots with the desire to fly shiny wide body jets to far away places. They will be hired, trained and used until they burn out then will be replaced with a new serviceable unit. Since EK hires from the GLOBAL pool of pilots, the supply is effectively endless and will continue to be so.
Of course, ( to coin the utterance of "Alan The Great", if you don't like it then leave........for now.
