Hi all...

I'm interested in SO starting salary and also how long roughly will it take to go from SO to FO? I am a prospective SO for the A320 fleet. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Also, what are current flying hours for a new SO per month on the A320 fleet? Or if you don't know, best guess??

Once again any info would be HUGELY appreciated! :)

If you join type rated with 2000hrs and an ATPL what is your rank SO/FO/SFO?
How does this change with training, hours, line check etc

What is the basic monthly salary for SO/FO/SFO?

I'm sure these questions have been answered before somewhere in the thread so thanks.

Hi All,

Feel free to post or pvt msg me.

Thanks in advance

Assy,

Gatbusdrivers post around Jan2015 is still correct with just one alteration, we are now receiving a housing allowance of QAR15,000 for Cpt.

Life on the big buses is not as stable as the Boeing, but no guarantees as to which fleet you will join.

Life is good here at the moment but things can change! The grass is not always greener in the desert but I am very glad Emirates took too long to offer me an interview.

Regards,

Cpt salary seems to be around $15k a month if you sort out the housing on your own, it increases in steps and then there's a completion bonus at the end of it.

With the overtime, does it mean than if you fly 900 hours in a year, 630 will be paid at 138 and 270 will be paid at 276 giving a grand total of 161460?
How many hours should you expect to fly on the 320?

Expect to fly 630. They try to level off the hours and they do it quite well.
If you get to 630 you will be flying less and new guys will be topped with 80/90 hours.

777 is different, they fly a lot more

320goat:

So then would it be fair to say that a new Captain averages about QAR55-60k/month including salary, flight pay, and housing?

As QR 320 new captain your salary will be:

QAR 33.527 Basic Pay
QAR 1.500 Transport Allowance
QAR 300 Utility Allowance (will not get this if you decide do live in Holliday Villa which is a company accommodation in a hotel)
QAR 500 Hotel Meal Allowance (average, not many layovers on 320)
QAR 8.280 Hourly Flying Pay (60 hours average, QAR 138/h)
QAR 1.676 International Savings plan (this money is deposited on an account and will be released to you at the end of contract).
TOTAL of QAR 45.783

3% pay raise on basic per year.
Overtime after 630h payed once a year on May. Average is QAR 5.000 to QAR 7.000 only (777 guys are getting up to QAR 30.000)

Housing allowance is QAR 15.000 but currently there is plenty of company accommodation available (some very good ones for captain), so unless you have a good excuse you will not get approval to opt for the allowance instead.

School fee reimbursement:

a) Child's age must be equal or above 4th birthday and less than or equal to 21st birthday.
b) Eligible to claim a maximum amount of QAR 125,000.00/year
c) Maximum number of 3 children.


No additional payment for Deadheading, training, standby, simulator, etc....

I hope this helps, good luck!

It helps a lot.

I thought year 1 basic is 32550 and transport allowance is 1800.

It's good to see that yearly average hours are circa 700, it's less than what I currently fly. Unless it's factored hours and not actual block hours?

With current exchange rate it works at EUR 10500 net. A lot more than what I earn now.

I know they use the holiday village but anything else they use?

Any chance to publish First Officer Salary and Benefits Please?

Am I right in saying there are no DEC NTR A330 at the moment? I am a A320 Capt with 10,000 hours and 6,000 PIC on type.... I hear the A320 roster is still brutal...?

Also, can you confirm which class my family and I would travel in, including whether we get the full experience of that class (or as in some other airlines, no lounge access, no meals from premium class, etc)?

Any help very much appreciated...

Not sure about A330 but the A320 roster is no worse than any other roster.
There is no lounge access for employees period.
But if you get assigned a seat in business, you will be treated as a passenger.
Annual leave ticket is confirmed economy, upgradeable if space available.
Otherwise, you can buy standby for either biz or economy ID90's.

Is there a "13th Salary" kind of thing...

There is an end of service bonus which you receive at the end of your contract, it represents roughly an additional salary for every year you worked for QR. So I guess you can say there is a "13 salary"....

Time to dust off this topic...

Attached is a link to a Salary/EOSG Calculator that I created while I was employed at QR (I left about 1yr ago). This calculator is a Microsoft Excel file that can only be used on Windows OS. It may/may not work on Apple version of Excel. Its a user-friendly calculator that can give you an estimate of your monthly salary. Also it can calculate your End Of Service Gratuity (ESOG) Benefits that you will receive when you leave the company. (Note: you will not receive the EOSG if you are terminated for disciplinary reason). The figures in the Living Expenses section are averages when I was living in The Pearl (1-Bedroom) Apt. The links below can be used to search for apartments in Qatar. The main Utility Company (Kharamaa) has a calculator on their site that you be can used to calculate an estimate of your electric/water bill. If you live in "The Pearl" or "West Bay", you will be required to pay for Qatar Cool (air conditioning cost).

Note: This calculator does not take into account school fees, extra curricular activities, etc. However, I did provide a link to the 25 best schools in Qatar that will give you an idea how much education will cost.

I think the other option 10% basic salary to stock is better than EOSG . the money in stock can go up and it's also guaranteed

Regardless if you participate in the pension scheme or not, you would get the higher of the two schemes (EOSG or Pension), however you must be employed at least 7 years to be fully vested to get the company contribution. And if after seven years of employment, if your pension is less than the EOSG (for whatever reason) , then you will receive your own contribution back and receive the ESOG benefit instead. The only question that lingers and I have never got an answer, does the company consider the pension balance minus the pilot's contribution when determining the greater of the EOSG and the pension?

Either way, you are guaranteed to receive the EOSG by law, and the market doesn't always go up.

5 years employment from date of joining for 100% of company contributions, I believe 7 years would be Emirates.

Thx for the clarification.

Very well-done and useful tool, av8tordude. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you and you very welcome. I'm happy you found it very useful and I hope it will offer you and other's the answers to questions in regards to the salary and how much you will make and save during your tenure at QR.

If you stay more than 5 years does EOSG goes from 21 days basic salary to 28 days for all 5 years or just starting from 5 years ?

It is pro rata, if you want my advice.....join the ISP
