For those who are filling their Excel spreadsheets and hoping to earn big money here :
Crewing actively monitors rosters over here. On several occasions, I have noticed that when crewing sees that one guy will not reach the monthly target (always 75 to 80 hours) and another guy is planned with BIG overtime than they do their magical trick..... In the middle of the month crewing simply takes away a trip from the overtime guy and transfers it to the other guy. Magic....This way both guys stay nicely below the overtime limit. Remember... EK management is more clever than you...
Since I joined >2 years ago I had exactly 1 overtime trip.
At present dhs/euro levels count on 4100 euros.
Guys who claim that an FO can earn on average 5500/month:
Either they spend too much time in the Dubai sun or they did one ULR trip too much last month.
just my 1 Fills of advice.....
