View Full Version : A lesson from Gulf Air
Gulf Air today anounced a very substantial pay increase - as much as 35% I believe for some FO's.
This in reaction to 100+ resignations in reaction to their last offer to the crew.

Info is almost correct, except that the numbers are even better :
50% increase for captains
70% increase for FO's

Someone post an overview of figures etc?
Don't have numbers but it comes down to Gulf Air now paying more than Emirates!

Well if the working conditions are similar to the service in the cabin I give it a miss..... Not good......
Interested to see what the numbers are though...;-)

Basic = 2100BD
Housing = 650BD
Pay per block hours = 6BD (average 60 hours = 360BD)
Meal Allowance per hour TAFB= 1.5BD (average 150 hours = 225BD)
Wife allowance = 42BD
Communications = 13BD
Utilities = 48BD
Transportation = 40BD
Total = 3478BD or $9,226.20
That's a first year F/O wage. It goes up 50BD/month for each year of service. It's at least equivilent to Emirates wages now.
Career progression, and some working conditions are still in need of lots of attention, however it at least helps put up with them in the meantime.
