New salary, who knows? If the rumours are true, based on the bottom of the scale and 10% increase(yeh, right) then bottom of the line ATCO can expect an extra AED18 000pa. That's on basic, don't see them increasing any of the other allowances maybe except for housing. And then it will probably be a case of "we will give you either an increase in basic or housing allowance". The eternal trade off!!
Standard contract-AED180 000pa, 30K ATCO allowance, 6K fuel, Housing 90k single, 100K married, 110K married with children. Not enough, decent place in DXB will set you back at least 130K, so be prepared to pay in!!!!
If you are a SUP or WSTO you get a a little allowance for that.
Would love 30%, but I think the sky will fall on our heads before that!!
BlueSkye, leave the H+K at home, they issue you with an AK47 on arrival in SA. Part of the welcome pack
Have fun
