Let me get this, GTP lives in the UK must have over 4000 Hrs a jet type rating and 2000 Hrs on Comercial aircraft. He is leaving his job to take up a position with EK to earn GBP 2319 per month or GBP 27800 at todays exchange rate. which he can earn in any UK jet operator and a few Turbo guys + approx a minimum of 600 quid a month flight pay. He is happy to wait 7+ years to get a command and does not mind working upto 50% more than he would be legaly allowed to do so in the UK for the salary. !
Oh add to that the 7 years may be optomistic because as the airline goes down the !!!!ter monthly in terms of the way its being run ,that he might be lucky if half the aeroplanes on order are not sold on to other operators as they were bought so cheaply, since all the US plans have been postponed maybe never to return.
I just dont get it myself, !
Just thought Id add the differance in pension contributions alone between EK and the average UK operator at 42K for an FO is 3100 GBP per Year as an FO and 5.9K as a CP on 66K .
