UAE nationals working for the UAE goverment +25%
Other working for the government of the UAE +15%
Emirates Pilots +8%
The three percent is our annual contract increment, not a payrise.
FO joining salary is now about $4500 USD per month.
FO joining salary is now AED 2000 ($600USD) per month more than it was in 1991 - 14 years ago.
Inflation in Dubai is running at more than 8%
