Just Checking,

I know that there are differences between the packages; i.e. EK have a profit share, QR have a gratuity. There are also differences between lifestyles in the 2 countries and cost of living.

Putting all that on one side for a second, can I check out the starting basic pay and see if I am right. (1 AED=1QR as both tied to USD)

EK F/O 16670 AED for an 84hr month before overtime
QR F/O 14k + 70/Hr = 19280

EK Capt 23920
QR Capt 20k+100/Hr = 28400

It seems to me that QR pay 16% more for a F/O and 19% for a Capt; basic quaranteed pay. Depending on who you believe either airline could be Paradise or the entrance to Hades. But surely a QR mate must be saving more in Doha than an EK mate in Dubai all things being considered
