Hunter,
The main issue isn't the money.
Constantly flying 100+ hours/month doing a combination a "low cost" type turnarounds in the middle of the night followed by a minimum rest longhaul flight in either direction and throw in the odd ULR sector, all of this on minimum days off and with no particular rules is the problem.
If you ever get 2 weeks leave, the rest of the month you are flogged and doing 60 plus hours negating any benefit of leave doesn't help either.
None of the above can be fixed by earning 60000aed/month in my view.
