Let's take a calculation based on about the 10th year capt.

Base 13500
MVC. 1350

Basic 15000.

80 hours at 75= 6000
80-85 at 125 = 625

13th month at 15000/12 = 1250

Total 22875 + outstation allowances..

So the the Capt with about 10 years on the left seat is about 68625aed plus outstation allowances minus taxes therefore it is not the 90k aed you've quoted, also the outstation allowances won't be as much as what you've mentioned.

A capt with a 10 years of seniority is about 60700 plus outstation allowances with EK if you opted for the housing allowance..

Now it is only around 8000 aed of differences..if you calculate the taxes you pay, the housing and the school fees, EK would have a bit more spending power. EK provides a provident funds while SQ pays the 13th month basic..so it has many wash out between the 2 airlines. It all comes down to where you want to live and work and where the family will be happy.

SQ mainline won't be hiring Capts for many years to come. It has enough FOs to upgrade within. The only hiring is on the Cargo side which is on a different CA to that of the mainline. When you do join, you will be placed in the year 1 basic which is 10000sgd plus MVC of 1000..

It's not that much different..it's about where you will be happy.
