Not even close.
If you take their basic s$9300/mo = s$2325/wk 2325X28=s$65100 s$65100x.75= USD$48825 (with 10% taxes then $43942)
30,700AED basic for yr one or two B777 capt per month
30,700AED/mo=7675/wk 7675AEDx14=107450AED
107450AED/3.69=USD$29120
Easier way to work it is their US dollar amount per week is $1743.
Ek dollar amount per week using 3.69 is $2079.
They make about 16% less on the basic...but, they get paid 13 mo's plus last year 24 weeks which nets 28 weeks. But they do pay a 10% tax.
Scary stuff to put one's limited math skills on display. So if I made any glaring mistakes, blame it on too much sun and sand in my eyes...
