Well the EK pilot pay survey for 2002 shows that a 1st yr EK capts package is about $US 25000 below the average for 1st yr capts of the 46 airlines used. While the Max EK capt Increment is about the max capt average for the same airlines.
For FOs it shows that a 1st years FO package is $US 8000 above the average for 1st year FOs of the same airlines, and that a Max increment EK FO is about $US 3000 below the average.
This Package is inclusive of Net Income, Employee Deductions (ie provident payment, loan payment, healthcare payment etc) and tax and Additional costs of employment (housing, pensions etc.).
When looking at just part of the package, for example Net income and Employee deductions and Tax, the EK 1st year Capt is at less than half of those for CX (old and new schemes), AA, AF, NH, CO, DL, KA, KL, JL, NW, SK, SV, UA. He does however do much better than TG, RJ, MH, AZ.
It shows a total package value for a Max increment EK Capt at $US 210000 (of which $US 140000 would be salary), while a Max increment KA Captian would be on $US 340000 (salary $US175000), a CX B scaler on $US 370000 (salary $US 230000)and a CX A scaler on $US 410000 (salary $US 260000). Average of all airlines was shown, for max increment capt is $US 210000.
For FOs it shows a 1st yr EK FOs package as $US 115000, with a salary of $US 55000.
