FO friends in the desert are on base of about 30,000aed++. So 63k HKD and if they are lucky to fly maybe some extra money on the side. Housing is no longer a cash hand out. Even singles have been forced into villas. That is more like JFO pay on COS18.
I believe it’s the equivalent of HKD 63K basic + around HKD 10K flight pay (if you’re on the Barbie Jet) + HKD 32K housing (either cash or value of a 4.5 bed villa, all utilities paid) = HKD 105K (take home) no tax. Certainly a much better deal than the new LCC contract here at Cafay Paciic
