Hi Guys,

Just an insight about pay: The max number of hours you can fly at Fz is 900 per year, well that is what it should be. I say should because our brilliant rostering team top us at 850, give or take. If you split 840 by 12 you will find your maximum average monthly flight pay around 70 hours block. So what FZ promises is not true and you cannot count on that. Take 10 hours flight pay (1100 Dhs for F/Os and 1600 for CA) out of the figures you have and them you will get the real deal: the lowest pay in the UAE!!! Sad but true..............One more thing: the housing and transportation allowances are a joke.....you cannot afford to buy, drive and keep (fuel, Salik, service, insurance...all you need to drive) a descent car with Dhs 1700 a month. The housing at 144k is absolute inadequate. Even the CA's housing of 168k is not enough anymore. EK and EY are hiring with way better conditions......just saying.......
