Average Pay...It's difficult to say, as it varies greatly month to month. I'd say it's around the 7000Dh/month mark, however, every single month's pay depends on the number of hours you fly. This means that the first two months will be around 2500-3000Dh/month as you won't be flying.
When you go on your annual leave it will average around 6000Dh/month, and as the number of days off in your roster grows (should you bid for it) and if you have sick/absent days then you won't be earning flying pay.
Also, intl. telephone calls from your landline are salary deducted... and the bills can be a shock in the first couple of months if you call home a lot.
Mind you, this doesn't include the Per Diems you get at outstations. And they provide meals on the job. Unless you eat lavishly every time you're out of Dubai, the meal money starts to add up. :-)
It took me about 4-5 months to get a good feel of things here, so when you arrive it's natural to freak out a bit, esp where money's concerned. The trainers at college are a goldmine of answers. You can ask them about anything - staff travel, bank accounts, bidding. - They're very approachable, they want you to pass and they want you to enjoy the job.
Hope that helps
