So, 65,000 dirhams or $17,800 per month. £10,800. If you're in Company provided then you've no bills and nothing to pay so it's swings and roundabouts.
At todays exchange rate in the local mall - the bank would be worse - 65,000 Dhs is worth 10,140 english pounds not 10,800. If the accommodation allowance is not paid and mostly it is not as most crew live in company accomodation and the usual medical/provident fund deductions accounted for - they're about the same as the flight pay - the monthly take home salary becomes 45,000 Dhs or 7,020 english pounds for a nine year Captain.

A year ago the pound was around 5.6 to the dirham, today it's 6.41, it's heading towards 7.0. When it hits 7.0 the monthly take home salary will be 6,428 pounds.

At the moment a few Brits (Ryanair) are trying to join and most Americans are trying to leave.
