Corporate Pilot Pay in the Middle East

Can anyone assist me in finding out what the corporate pilot pay and traditional benefits would be for Captains and First Officers for the following aircraft in the GCC region ( Saudi, Dubai, Bahrain, Doha, Kuwait):

G550, Global Express XRS

Challenger 605/604

Challenger 300/G200

Hawker 800 XP

Thanks and I greatly appreciate your inputs

Chris

night of the long knives

I suppose it depends on what you mean by traditional.

Tradionally the pay and conditions were excellent, and the flight crews treated with professional respect.

Yesterday, the ME corporate world was hit by more dismissals, and closures, (or perhaps relocation or resources), as well as the "premiere training acadamy" (DEA), closing.

But to answer the question i think you asked:
Heavy Metal Captains should be on 15us$ per month, +++
Middle weight 12k, and light weight 6k.

In general first officers 9,7.5.

Mostly plus plus.

Keep your heads down guys they are out to get us.

I read it as 7.5k for a middle-weight FO

Presumably, as here, light-weight FOs don't get anything worth writing home about.

Heavy metal? It was not mentioned in the first post. Is a CX or GV heavy metal? Not in my book.

To me "heavy" means heavy, in the wake turbulence category. Even a B757 is not classified as a heavy outside the UK. IIRC.

In Bizjet world GV and Global are "heavy!" At least as far as salaries are concerned. What is heavier? OK a BBJ but not by that much.

I think salaries have taking a hit since these figures. Medium P1 $8K with bad conditions was offered recently but that is exceptionally bad.

12-13k ++ on medium sounds about right if one includes the housing.

I would like to have a burst on the light jets but not on those incomes thank-you very much. Was hoping the incomes stated were in sterling but I am now even more disalusioned.

With no APU and no F/A to sort the catering, the light jet guys should be paid more!
