Sorry guys, lots of wrong info here.
the salary depends on the fleet you are assigned. the lowest is on 737, the highest on 777.
the contract is 20/10 with the option of 25/12 and is signed for 1 to 3 years renewable.
perdiem are paid for the all 20 days, whether you are in addis or flying. It s always 60 usd a day for a total of 1200 usd.
Housing allowance is paid in ETH BIR and is the equivalent of 1250 usd.
House rent in Addis abeba (expecially in Bole, the airport area) is crazy. and if you don't share a house with someone you definitely add some money from your own pocket.
At the moment only ethiopian crew have a x-qualification on 777/787 but this will be probably done with expats as well in the future, may be with a training bond. (no expats on 787 at the moment)
on 777 the annual salary excluding perdiem is 118.800 usd
on 737 is 85800 usd
Vacation is 14 days/year so you can make max 24 days in a row.
All these information are not confidential and they also can be found on many recruitment agencies websites
