I've been at EK for almost 9 years, been a Captain for almost 5. Last month my salary was 7,900 British Pounds, including flight pay for 84 hours at 10 pounds an hour. From that the company takes out 350 pounds as my contribution to the pension scheme and another 35 for my wife's medical insurance. (Your medical insurance is free, you pay for your family.)
Housing is provided but if I didn't take it I would get an extra 2,500 pounds a month- housing in Dubai is expensive.
These are actual figures from an actual payslip. The basic has just gone up by 3% but nothing else has. It is still a good salary but nowhere near the 10,000 pounds a month which is being quoted here.
