Thanks for the friendly welcome and not particularly helpful response
As far as I am aware, its not regarded as best practice to ask "what are you going to pay me" at the initial stages of applying for a new job. They have not said what the position offers, but they are asking me what my salary requirements are.
My understanding is that Emirates have a range for each grade and therefore I would like to put forward a suggestion that is at the top end of that salary range, without pricing myself out of the equation completely.
To your second point, asking what an FO's pay has got to do with it, well if you read my email, I wanted to find out about grade 10 salary ranges. From what I have read an FO is a grade 10 position and attracts 25k AED, therefore it would be logical to assume that I would need to ask for a salary requirement below 25k.
I wanted to confirm that fact, hence why I am posting here.
