Thanks wizo: That pretty well makes my point that there is no real significant difference between the major gulf Airlines. At SV you'd probably average between 1.2 and 1.4 times basic based on a lower basic than EK. That is outside of the 777 and the 320.


The good days of the 777 at SV are numbered though as there are signicant numbers of guys coming through training currently, there's only 2 more 777's to come in the short term and fairly soon they will start to phase out the 777-200. The growth fleet at SV will be the A330.

EK: joined in 2000, capt since 2003.
moved out of company accommodation
all in aed

basic: 50.520.-
housing per month: 16.070.- (192.900.- p.a)
flight pay per month average: 4.261.-/month (was 51.137.- the last 12 months)
profit share in 2015: average 8.454.-/month (was 101.447.- p.a)
provident fund average. 2.472.- (29.674 last 12 months)
package for me in total: 81.777.- per month

schooling mostly paid if you have kids
productivity was 90.- (ninety) in 12 months

but leaving because of unsustainable workload (95hrs in 30 days, not one ulr) and unbearable company culture

good luck

If you want to do Long-Haul DON'T join EK

We are the only 777 operator who's put the pilots crew rest in the back of the A/C and its crap, the others all have the proper rest facility in the front behind the flight deck. Very nice.

It's cramped, noisy and in the ceiling at the very back of the A/C, ten bunks, two for pilots, eight for the crew. They get progressively smaller as you go forward and ours are at the very end, the smallest of them all. you can't even sit up in them, no joke, it's crap.

I joined EK to do Long-Haul, now I don't bother. I've not been to most of our destinations because of the appalling crew rest. My dogs at home have more sleeping space!!!
