Employee handbook is the source. It shows the recruiting site hasn't been updated.

Guys JA cancelled the FleetForums because of a new enhanced package that he wanted to present to us... so don't worry, this is all false...

If "pay review 2014 by AS is still standing the figures on web site are wrong:
Accomodation:
FD 06. 14325 per month ( previously 13320,as reported on web site)
FD 07. 16075 per month ( previously 14950, as reported...)
ESA
primary 46000 ( previously 42K)
secondary 70000 (previously 63k)
As for the salary it lt would appear they introduced a "f*****g" level 2 which would locate new joiners on a pay scale higher then a 6/7 years senior captain/fo without "certain" wide body
experience (what about md11,76?)

The 2014 Housing is correct
14325/16075
The Edu went up in 2015
47500/72500
The level 1/2 number is inclusive of 85 hrs flying pay @ 55/75 = 4675/6375 so base would be
Level 1 Capt
36320
Level 2 Capt
40890
Level 1 FO
25450
Level 2 FO
30405
But if reduced schooling and housing is correct, then a new FO/Capt would be worse off on those two points by (based on two kids in high school, living out) of;
FO 37060pa
and
CAPT 38500pa
Clear as mud?
The shenanigans continues
ps 'above twas a quick back of envelope - open to correction

These are the A+ scales to try and attract guys who have no kids or the kids have finished school. Just think about it, as soon as ones the kids have finished school, your package gets reduced quite substantially!

Base pay before was circa 29000 dhs, so for a new FO on level 1 we're talking about a circa 4000 dhs decrease per month in base pay and 10,000 dhs decrease per year in housing....
Does this mean even current new joiners will have to fall under this salary decrease. 4000 dhs decrease per month is pretty sad, that makes about 48,000 dhs less per year.

Maybe they are reacting to the recent QR roadshow in Dubai. The point they are missing is QR is attracting new joiners because of improved work schedules. I have a few friends in Goat airline and they confirm the 777 schedules are pretty decent with plenty of days off. Apparently they have even introduced a new rule, where flight deck have to get a string of four days OFF at least once per monthly roster.

Do the level 2 hour requirements match any upgrade requirements? Wondering if they are recruiting experienced FO's for a fast upgrade, especially considering the fairly low normal requirements for a wide body position.
Being only 200 hours short, and the £/AED exchange rate at the moment, this is getting quite tempting, so long as the housing and education are at the current level. Throw in an accelerated shot at command, and I might just apply.
PS. Don't believe everything you hear about the rosters at QR. I have a lot of friends there, and their rosters look brutal. Granted they get 4 days off in a row, but still only manage 8-10 for the month on average. (Boeing fleets)

Over the last two/three years that I've had occasion to review the EK careers web site, there's been NO change except for the advertised pay and experience requirements. Only the "minimum experience requirements" and the "cash elements" have been reviewed. I don't think the FAQ section is a reflection of the package being offered--its outdated

" We review our salaries regularly to make sure we remain competitive. "
Flyboy, the bit they leave out is competitive with the lowest possible amount we can get away with and pilots can never earn what DSVP Catering can earn.....
Keep on rowing.....
