Here are the pay figures for F/O:
Basically we get paid for flying hours at the hourly rate of AED35 up to the threshold for the month. Now depending on the length of the month that is 70 hours for a 28 day month, 73 hours for a 29 day month, 76 hours for a 30 day month and 78 hours for a 31 day month. Any flying done above these thresholds we get paid an overtime rate of AED325/hour. If you accept a duty on a day off you also receive a payment of AED650.
EG. My roster for March indicates 98 block hours, therefore March is a 31 day month so AED35 x 78 hours = AED2730 Flight Pay
I did 98 block hours minus 78 hours = 20 hours, therefore 20 hours x AED325 = AED6500 overtime
Basic Salary AED21470
Telephone allowance AED100
Exchange Rate Protection AED1610 (for an Australian F/O)
So I received about AED32410 for the month, so that = 8824USD/5619EUR/9492AUD
Last month I did 20 hours of overtime on the Boeing 777
I hope this helps
