Grade II Salary
Just wanted to correct a previous post (i think it was by omarr) regarding average Grade II Salary. The figure they quoted was more what the Grade I crew get, or at least the amount I'm getting on a full Business Class roster.
Average Grade II monthly Salary (and this is NOT including per diems) is around 7000 - 8500. The reason I don't include per diems is that some months may be full of only layovers, or only turnarounds, or partly full of standby duties without a callout, should you be on reserve. Plus a Japanese speaker doing a month of Japanese flights would get more in per diems than, say, a Swahili speaker doing a month of African flights.
I was in Economy for 15 months, and at no point did my monthly salary every hit the 9000 mark. As much as 10,000 AED would be welcomed, this isn't what Grade II's get.
Sorry to burst anyone's bubble...
