BBB, I meant you don't have a family to provide for in the UAE. And I know you work in Flt. Ops. (pilot)
No Etihad does not take fresh graduates. You must be current and endorsed on the 330, 340, or the 777. No they do not employ women pilots.

$16,200 US "after tax" this month at Emirates.
Obviously, that doesn't align very well with the peeing and moaning from SecurID so before he and the rest of the terminally aggrieved descend upon this thread I willstate that precisely $14000 of that shows in big black numbers on my payslip, the balance went into the fund.
I will admit to being relatively senior and a beneficiary of the Exchange Rate Protection scheme.
I will not admit to being disadvantaged. Is it possible that to become well-paid you just have to shut up, do your job, and put in the time?
Just a thought.

Dropp,either you know someone in the office,write your own roster,or smoke your socks,as the numbers you quote,are very hard to conjure up.Like you,been here long time,with ERP,but still,nowhere near.
You are however,correct,about doing as your told,doing your job and doing nothing,you are the ideal EK pilot.Well done,have a badge.

I received USD 7300 for January, including ERP. I am several years into command at EK. Once again Dropp, you are full of cr*p. But then, that is also precisely what the people who have flown with you say too!

Hey Believe, looks like I make almost two and half times what you do! Say what you will, this company is a good judge of character.
If you and your other malcontent brethren are really interested I'll snip the bottom off my payslip and pin it on the top left corner of the bulletin board in the mail room but you'd have to promise to report back here. Then we can see who is full of merde and everyone can breath easier.
Speaking of which, take a breath.

I think the point here fellas is that there is now a massive discrepancy between the amount of work done and the pay received.
The guys on the 310 have no hope of ever getting overtime, no matter how hard they work, due to all the short turnarounds.
On the other hand the 340 guys are making 20,000 dhs in overtime which involves lots of time horizontal in the bunk. Good luck to them.
The 777 guys are somewhere in the middle.
This could change in a heartbeat of course if we get the Long Range 777's
The issue is that once again, most of us joined under the illusion that there was pay equality at EK, regardless of what fleet you are on.
That is now so far from the truth that it is laughable.

Yep DtP is correct about EK pay.
My avarage over one year is $16000/month
Now with the latest shafting
Druckmefunk is correct, I can only earn $12397/month MAX
That is 129.323814 cases of beer/month less!!!
With all this stress, my crap golf has become a hockey game.
Now I loose more money at golf!!!
Can I take this stress at EK????
Still 256000% better than the RED TIE AND POSTMAN-PAT -UNIFORM we had to wear.
(don't panic we don't gamble at golf, just predict, like camel/horse racing)

Etop, I am pleased for you, but if I applied to BA now I would spend my best years slogging around europe in the right hand seat, however apply to Etihad and I would keep my command and take a payrise! My point is that It's not just the MAS guys who would gain from joining Etihad.
Dropp, your pay sounds fantastic! Point taken regarding salary comparisons. I still believe that joining Etihad would be a better move for me rather than EK as I would keep my command, Happy flying, Pudd

It does sound as an attractive deal, financially, but DO take into account the cost of living versus what it would cost at home.
Then think of payments at home (in euros, pounds etc.) I for one had the experience to live in BAH when the housing was much lower. When we were forced to move to AUH for GF traveller, financially ends didn't meet and GF would not pay the bill.
I decided to go home and found out that even by paying tax and after cost of living, I ended up with the same amount in the bank.
The currency gap made the difference even greater. Think before you decide, unless you have no option.

Silly question alert.
Is it true, the rumour that Etihad may soon open up applications for Non Type Rated Pilots? Like they are not getting enough crew at the moment?

Non rated into EY
Heard from some sources ( probably in EY website... ) that they consider non rated for their busses but not for 77's yet. The pay and benefits are low compared to the actual industrial rates but it's quite well off to some other airlines. They're still haven't come up with any loss of licence scheme yet but some of us can make do without it...the question here is, CAN YOU...?

Based on local info, and as said before, there is a market for everyone.
There is no shortage of candidates for EY latest (and continuing) recruitment drive. Wherever they come from it doesn't matter (not only from the East...).
There are people out there flying the latest machines in the market willing to pay from their own pocket substancial amounts of on things like housing and education allowances, loss of license insurance and a poor health insurance policy. This is globalisation at its best. I say no more.
P.S. EY has "ceilings" on all those things and as known, they do not cover extras. The ceilings are very poor. Inshallah, things will get better for those flying in.
