I would think..close to worthless..why would anyone come at current exchange rates...and as the USA continues to print money and drive the dollar down, the salary gets lower and lower

4 years plus at EK.
29095 dirhams based on basic and 78 hours per month flight pay.
Equates to 7910 USD at an exchange rate of 3.68 dirhams to the dollar.
By far not enough for the hours we keep.
That's pay not including accomadation,health, and provident. FWIW

That is the same as an expat CAPTAIN at SIA Cargo.... and we only have 32 days leave, no staff travel, no provident fund. And 100 tons of Lithium batteries instead of good looking girls
Check the numbers before you leave.

So Patty......
Why don't you come to EK??? The fact is that the airlines should pay a premium for expat crews to live in this part of the world.
Most people don't come here because it's a nicer place to live.
I would say that most people would prefer to live in SIN than the ME.
Just out of interest, what does a SIN Cargo Capt make for flying 92hrs in a month?
Cheers

Patty,
Who said I was leaving? Nice mentality though. Why don't we try dragging wages up instead of trying to drag them down just cause somebody else is on a lower wage.
A rising tide lifts all boats.

Too old to be hired as F/O and EK is not hiring DEC.

The "leaving" was not aimed for you. Just wanted to point out the facts for those in the forum that consider leaving EK for SQC.

We're talking round the world patterns here. Not point to point operations.
92 FLYING hours in SQC is thus not possible. (But, I do 90-100 hours each month if you add the not paid positioning). Our crew operating patterns gives you about 3,3 hours on average per day working and you do 18-22 days per month.
In April the 12 months average for F/O:s was 44,5 hours per month. For Captains it was 47,4. This has actually been an improvement over the last years!
Out of my interest. How much less would you get if you did 45 instead of 78 hours?

Patty747400, the only time I've done 45 hours in the last year a half at Emirates has been during a leave month where I worked 12 days. Great vacation credit hey!
78hours? that kind of hard time you'll only see in the last 2 months of the year, when you're getting close to 900 hours for the year, or if you need the hours for your command
.
You will do better than 100 hours duty every month though, as when you are getting close to yearly limit you will get plenty of augment and safety pilot duties, which are good for sh*t when getting you need the required time on type, but you get payed for the flying, except when you're deadheading when you get nothing for flight pay, and that is common for those low in absolute seniority.
I think the salary question is always relative to your personal situation, the only thing I would say is that the package looks much better on paper, than the reality, as you'll be spending far more then you think covering education (if you have kids), recreation, and travel. Something you will only understand once you spend some time in the better than 6 months of unbearable heat here.
But yes I'm sure it's better than SIN cargo, and yes the girls are better lithium batteries.
cheers
