24500dhms? and how many days off did you have to work, leave days sold, or overtime flown? and what fleet? And if you are in AUH you get a lot more housing than in BAH.
Most recruitment is onto the 320 where there is no overtime, minimum days off and a lot of time spent in hotels. Single 320 captains are only on around the 2800BD mark. I'm not there any more but my last pay check was 2780BD after a full months work, 8 days off, and about 65 hours flying. And that was including training pay. Thats why i left.
How are you vfenext? 2 cars and a speedboat now? the wide body fleet must be treating you well.
I don't know where brenoch is from but my mates back in the UK charters are taking home quite a bit more after tax than i was in GF. they also get a pension and various other benefits. The whole deal is worth about twice what GF pay so technically he's correct. and they don't have to spend so much time away in the same old dreary hotel in Abu Dhabi.
Its not a bad deal in GF, but its not great either.
Anyway, i'm not in the ME anymore so i really shouldn't be here.
