I might be wrong (usually am), but I don't think this has anything to do with flight deck pay scales. Different department.
Our payscales/allowance grades are FD09 and FD10 respectively and are on a completely different system. Although its about bloody time we heard about the utility increase.

UA should normally be announced in the end of this month. 10% would be the normal increase, to easily cover the 30% rent hikes....
..and DEWA 
..with the way this is going we will soon be paying to SEWA

Well if this is true, its pathetic, guess we will be losing even more middle managers, that should really help with manpower for the new training college, flight ops building and ramp up for the 380 launch.
Still at least all the extra money saved will go into the profit share next year

Oblaaspop,
Your right mate about nothing to do with the FD's. Mind you who are the FD9 and FD10's?
Most of us are either FD 06's or FD 07's... are these FD9's like super stealth DEC's or something?
Don't suppose we'll get much more, looks like cheap lager all round

Inflation 9.3 %
The Minister of Economy has stated that UAE inflation was at 9.3 % last year. So how does your increase stand up to that ?

The EK HR dept. will tell you that because your accommodation is provided you are sheltered from the worst of the inflationary pressures however they have made little move toward increasing utilities allowances to a realistic level.
At every company presentation I have been to recently the senior management have crowed about how well the group is doing financially then once they have left the building the middle management stand up and say we can't do anything because we are short of resources and manpower. Someone needs to have the balls to tell the guys at the stop that it is all going to grind to a halt very soon unless they wake up to the realities of Dubai.

Yes that is true.
Royal jet captains captains 15200 aed per month housing allowance
utilities allowance 3000 aed per month
transport allowance 1500aed per month.
and a 16 percent basic salary payrise.
But it is now becoming heavily localized and falling apart at a fast pace!!!
