Emirates specific questions....

[A380 Jockey]

Contacted, whilst your numbers seem to be close they are far from correct. Overheads constitute a decent percentage of an EK pilot's salary.
Bunktime, your questions are very appropriate and valid. Sadly,if 13-14k Usd PM is less than the world average, then we should be doing something about it, should we not.
Once(if)you join up, why don't you access for yourself what your take home is and then what your average savings are. I'd say give it six months. And then we can have another chat either on this same forum or on the email i'm pm'ing you.
I foresee a correction in the pilots salaries/allowances for the better in the near future.
Like i always say, just my thinking....
Please give out concise information to these pilots who are merely trying to ease out your fatigue levels and maybe in the process get you a salary hike.
Take a few deep breaths and try some patience for a change guys. It always pays in the long run.
Trust me ..
