EK flight pay and days off

Hi guys,
Where can I find the EK flight pay amounts for cpt and fo respectively. Also is there a day off payment that applies to day off that are used for duty??

Many thanks,

One would sincerely hope that this question is a joke....right?!?!

I hope that no EK pilot in their right mind would willingly work on a day off!! Surely the goodwill etc that has, and is, being displayed to Flight Crews would have put an end to this practice!!

Nevertheless, we'll probably still see people complaining about being "screwed" whilst working on a day off.

What a silly response to a reasonable question!

Apron- off the top of my head, but in the vicinity of 600 and 480 dhs per scheduled block hour/ day off is around 1200.

I'm sure someone with a better grasp than I will give you the exact figures, but it is in that vicinity.

By "in the vicinity of" do you mean "wrong by a factor of 10"? The actual amounts are 60 and 45 dirhams. That could make a difference in the "net monthly" calculation.

And I believe the EXTRA pay is around 600 dhms (for Captains). This is call out pay and is a lump sum regardless of how many days you may fly.

The real issue, below the low pay, is that with the hours we are flying if you do fly on a day off you can be sure that the rest of your roster will be disrupted to remain legal. Or they will pull a flight to keep you under the productivity threshold

On a related note.

I haven't heard of anybody being called on days off to 'volunteer' in recent times.

Has this started again?

Halas,

Apron is ok. He is a wee sprog of a 777 FO who has just finished updating his logbook and finds time on his hands now.

It was more related to the day off payment. I knew it was low but not that low. Never have sold days, I work for my days off! But interestly ops thought they could just take a day off from a published roster. Ummmm....nope.

The don your revealing yourself...'mate'

Interesting to note, Tiger Airways in Australia, the super low low cost airline, their new EBA pays overtime at $140 an hour after 55 hours, and the call out pay for a day off is $1000, and the base for a A320 Captain is $170000. This is all based on flying 577 hours a year. I'm up to above 900 this year. Something is not right.

They try the taking the day off thing every now and then. Just remind them the OMA states you need to agree to it and then, if for some reason you do, they need to pay up or give another day off.
The Ek day off payment is in AED the same amount that OZ LCC pay in AUD.
All the pay and allowance info is found in the pay and allowance manual. Which we don't have access to.
The pay scale use to be attached to the pay adjustment letter you receive each May. But, like the ability of taking leave when you wanted it, its a thing of the past.
Apron, I only did it once, and I am sure no one saw me do it.

Flight pay and payments for days off haven't gone up in years. Good job there is no inflation in Dubai or we could end up getting worse off every year.

Oh...

Seriously we don't want more flight pay, otherwise we will end up like the CC where 50% of our wages is flight pay, so no provident contribution and in the unlikely event of a bonus, it is also predicated on our base pay.

So would much prefer a rise in base pay,much more useful

Captain top is 60,090.

If you are outside the fold you may not be aware that your pay is then fixed and every May you will receive a 'contract adjustment' which will state that you have again been judged to be 3% less valuable than your colleagues.

What that notion is based on I am not sure but I must admit that in my case (as judged by general demeanour, fitness for duty, and enthusiasm) it is a manifestly fair appraisal of my decline.
