EK capatain salary

Hi folks,

Just FMI, what would be the salary of a 5, 10 and 15 years Capt at EK. Is there a linear increase every year? If so how much? Thanks

Thats a little bit impersonal isnt it ?
Who are you ? and why do you want to know ?
Surely a first year captains salary is just as important for any "research" you may be doing.

Fluke's concerns are valid. Who are you and why do you want to know? For all we know you are an IRS agent trying to get details for a case.

That said, don't come on this board and call people names for asking questions. Personal attacks like you've made against Fluke are the exact thing that has dropped PPrune into a second tier status as a useful source of information.

The IRS does not really need details for a case......

after the WSJ journal article on VIPs by Captain America, they have all the info they need...

So how's the research going? getting enough information? Here's a little bit, +3% per year. The desert is indeed a nest of vipers, just how we like it.

and add 15% inflation to it, that helps for a better calculation of the progression

On the bright side, you would appear to come from just about the ONLY country where your EK pay won't be losing value every month.

G. Zuz Aitch Keerist...

No wonder EK is getting a bad rap. Good thing he didn't ask a HARD question, or panties would NEVER get un-twisted!!

First jump on him like it's a state secret, then berate him for not looking it up on the website. Well which is it?

But my favourite is the guy sneaking in a quick chance to bash the US. Well done!

Clowns: funny, annoying, and creepy, all at the same time.

****.

Perhaps I'm jumping the gun here, but is this another person in a high percentage of pilots from a certain country, who has generally been a pain in the ass? I am not one to typically 'generalize' but why does EK seem to attract such a high percentage of clowns from there?


I have limited experience with these pilots, although I do hear them on the radio all the time, and to be honest its embarassing.............. what with their.......... Roger that SIR, understand cleared down to 2 4 OH SIR.


But I have heard nothing but bad reports from my colleagues.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel once again EK......... good work.

If i get one more of these Yahoos telling me about their lunch date with ED, I think i'm going to puke. Why do these pilots, especially the F/O's feel compelled to tell me of the insider knowledge that ED has imparted to them during one of these lunch dates? Do they not realize the man has no credibility and no respect from any decent human being? But aside from that fact, am I the only one to realize that it is inbred in their culture to associate with, pay homage to and generally kiss the ass of anyone in a position of power even if not warranted ?
I am shocked and completely dismayed that until my time at EK, I had thought that the average person from this country was no different from the average person from most countries. Keeping in mind that pilots are generally more informed or at least more worldly than the average person (simple due to having experienced things outside of the motherland in conjunction with at least a certain amount of education), but if this is the cream of the crop from the good'ole US of .............. then this world is in serious trouble.


Keep in mind that 50% voted for a moron.............. IN THE LAST TWO elections. Enough said.

I assume you're talking about Aussies? Sorry, you'll have to be a little less vague.

Yeah i can understand that for sure, but to be honest, most of the Ozzies are pretty good pilots and pretty good people. Yes they rub some people the wrong way, that is for sure, but for the most part they are great.
I think a few bad apples in training have labelled Ozzies in the wrong way. I may be wrong there, but that is my point of view.
I too have had the nightmare sim with an idiot from Oz, but generally speaking I would much prefer to have an OZ backing me up on my flight than 75% of the aforementioned.
I cringe everytime they start doing their 'Chuck Yeager' impersonations on the radio, but what really scares me is when they start talking about life and world events.
Just my opinion. But there is definitely something wrong in that country.
"I have the right to bear arms'' even if its an assault weapon and more people die each year from firearms than from traffic accidents
''THEY have weapons of mass destruction'' therefore we must invade
" I am a born again Christian, therefore I am moral'' in spite of all evidence to the contrary
''I am rich and powerful, therefore I am intelligent and deserving of your respect'' (another all evidence to the contrary, haha)
Yes i know, my apologies for ranting a tad here, but to be honest, give me a decent Brazilian pilot with poor english anyday over a self-important, uninformed and ignorant pilot who thinks the world revolves around him and his country........ anyday.
I only hope that I am wrong and that the average pilot from the epicenter of the planet is not a true indication of mentality of the average citizen from God's chosed country.

For God's sake man, the ranks of the competent and humble and the useless tools are equally and well represented by all nationalities. My Aussie comment was tongue in cheek, most of the Dunnunder fellers are great! But so are most of the Yanks. Sorry you feel otherwise.

Personally, I agree with the right to arm bears. I mean, they're quite defenseless otherwise.

Your post seems mainly to pull out all of the extremist anti-US stereotypes. (Insert burning Stars 'n Stripes HERE! So trendy! *yawn* ) So, since you expressed a desire for hope in your last line, I am here to help give it to you: yes, you are wrong.

3% increase, Thanks for the answer that's all I was asking for. No IRS conspiracy here.........

You guys need to relax a little bit. It's funny to see how fast the DEC issue and the american bashing comes back quickly on the plate. For those of you wondering who I am, I am originally from Europe, living in the US and flying for a regional airline. I am sure it will reassure most of you since I am not running any investigation on your tax free salary.......

Another thing, It's probably me being lazy or stupid like some of you did suggest, but I couldn't find anything on the web site talking about pay increase. This is a copy and paste from emiratescareers.com:

Monthly Salary
Starting salary is Dhs 29,750 per month and is reviewed annually. (1 US$ = 3.66 UAE Dirhams). The salary is tax free


I read and reread and couldn't see anything about 3%, so for those who gave me an answer I thank you for your help. For the others I would only say One thing: take it easy

cheers
