Is that true IRL or just confirmation bias?

+ the T7 crew from EK did not have an abundance of age + PIA A320 and Ethiopean MAX both had F/Os not far beyond just qualified Ethiopian 29 - 8,000 / 25 - 360 After the crash, the MAX was grounded and had to undergo an entirely redesign on MCAS. New training was then given. Needless to say that the crew did realise what was going on and they did switch to cutout both trim actuators. + Atlas 767 experience if PM was severely irregular 60 - 11,000 / 44 - 5,000 + AirAsia F/O very wrong mix of years to hours Yet, not sure what you mean by "wrong mix of years to hours". 53 - 20,500 / 46 - 2,200 AF447 58 - 10,000 / 37 - 6,500 / 32 - 2,900 Asiana 49 - 12,000 / 45 - 9,600 / 40 - 4,500 So, here is your data. What exactly is the point regarding to age/hours? How did that help? |

Of course nobody with a half decent job in USA or EU is coming to EK.
The only ones from the UK I see are Ryanair guys. EU guys usually come as a second/third choice having not got in a proper gig back home. Africa, Aus and Asia is the future for this airline ! |

I am currently flying as a FO at Aeromexico (Mexico biggest airline) NB making 60k. I prefer a ****ty workload with a ****ty management and some dollars over a ****ty workload, ****ty pay and ****ty management. I mean, it’s an easy choice. |

Maybe not recently but EK definitely had people from BA and Virgin join, say 5 years ago for sure. Got a few from Jet2 joining. Virgin hire and fire regularly. You only have to look through LinkedIn to see peoples profiles. Ryanair well EK could fill the whole 777 fleet I’m sure. Close to a 1000 Ryanair pilots working notice. Qatar and EK the top places for FOs. Captains bit tough to go from LHS okish position to RHS. Ryanair might not have got rid of pilots during the pandemic but they didn’t pay salaries either and paying less than pre pandemic now so people just fed up. UK wise most only see BA as a step up. |

Wrong again. No one has left Virgin in the last 5 years to join EK. From BA you could count the number on one hand.
Try to stop making up the story as you go along. I didn’t say in the last 5 years specifically. I didn’t specify Virgin UK. That’s your presumption on both. Norodjoe said he is only seeing Ryanair. I could even find people leaving Qantas in 2019 for Emirates. Unless everyone in LinkedIn is making stuff up. |

I could even find people leaving Qantas in 2019 for Emirates. Unless everyone in LinkedIn is making stuff up. You said Virgin, which colloquially is taken to mean Virgin Atlantic not Virgin Australia or Virgin America especially given that you're posting from the UK. If you mean those companies you would have said so. You also said "say 5 years ago for sure." Now I'm no English scholar but that statement implies you meant in the last 5 years. I'll go one better for you. No one joined EK from Virgin in the last 10 years. And BA yes, you could literally count them on one hand with multiple fingers missing. Again when saying Qantas, you want to specify if its mainline or the regionals? When you try and paint a picture to suit a narrative its very easy to cherry pick the data. How about you mention all the people going the other way or does that not suit your agenda? But sure keep painting the picture as bleak as possible for the UK/ ROW. Your tune is really quite tiresome. I still have to ask if its so good why aren't you there yet instead of plodding it out in the UK? |

Your tune is really quite tiresome. I still have to ask if its so good why aren't you there yet instead of plodding it out in the UK? Yeah sure more going there other way. From what I have found/know people both EK and BA either way not that many. Definitely last 4 years you got BA guys gone EK and the other way. This just LinkedIn, not everyone is on LinkedIn. The LinkedIn pages for Qantas people just said Qantas and flew B737 and A330 so pretty sure that’s mainline. Yes the UK is pretty bleak especially if you’re a UK only citizen with a UK pilots license. 30% of the guys and gals I flown with are seriously worried about interest rate rises that will add in some cases £800 a month to there mortgage bill. You know what they say? At least the guys going to Qatar and EK get free housing. As this thread is about salary review how much pay rise did BA get? They should be leading the way on things like this. I never said rest of the world was that bleak. KLM, Air France are amazing. Terms and conditions are leading the way in EU land. US is amazing as well. You are the guys/gals or maybe just one person that are travelling down a one way street with the bashing of Dubai and EK and yet the question should be why are you still there if that is the case? For your sanity leave!!! I was in a completely different career before. My boss and family told me I was mad to throw it all away and leave not just the company. It was a colleague who said if you don’t leave you will be a miserable lifer. I am much happier flying. Work in progress to the last point. |
As this thread is about salary you can’t deny EK are way down the list. Compared to US yes EK need to improve it. Compared to EU land etc the pay is very good.
Industry as a whole hasn’t really improved (outside the US). Ryanair Captains in 2005 were paid almost the same as they are now. Terrible. I mean at my old outfit we had an ex EK CC join us. She was EK for 10 years. She put a 70% deposit down on a property in the UK from everything she had saved while at EK. Before anyone says no it wasn’t a mansion or a shoebox/garage etc, averaged size house average property price in the south of England. |

Is that the same friend that told you that you have to be a 30 yr training Captain at a US legacy to earn the same net pay (while working half the hours) as an EK Captain? If that’s the case your source nor you can be trusted! With as hard and professionally as EK drivers work they deserve so much more, stop selling them short, Apparently you don’t think they are worth any more and should simply be happy with what they’ve been given. You sure you are not EGT or TCAS? |

Before anyone says no it wasn’t a mansion or a shoebox/garage etc, averaged size house average property price in the south of England. They all went back..... The simple fact is that the work rate at EK is unsustainable for a career no matter how much money you're paid. After circa 8 years there I was broken. Endless 2am departures, a management that can and will make changes to FTLS at a whim (changing a BNE from a 4 crew op to a 3 crew op which they quickly reversed) are a killer. EK are still doing turns to China. That is insanity and shows how much your health (mental and physical) is valued at EK. You are simply a guest worker and a cost to be managed with almost no rights. I had my passport withheld by EK on my last day after they unilaterally reduced my last severance cheque. I had to sign the paper to get my passport so I could leave the country. This is despite it being illegal in the UAE to do so. They then took 10 weeks to give me the remainder of my money. How's that for following the rule of law? But please Aiming keep telling me how much better EK and the ME is compared to the UK/EU! Tell me again how much experience you have doing ULR ops and 900+ stick hours a year? Or living or working in the ME? No a family holiday to Dubai doesn't count. Whilst you may have some valid points you refuse to acknowledge that you don't know what you don't know and prefer to constantly change the narrative to suit your very slanted view of the UK. I'll ask again if it's so good why aren't you there yet? Given your ex Flybe and a current RYR pilot you should have the nearly 2000 hours needed to apply. Just remember that when you get there all your workmates are going to love to hear how they're all wrong about EK and that it's actually the greatest place on earth! |
I wouldn't listen to a thing AIMINGHIGH says, he doesn't have a job, he was working as a TP pilot before the pandemic and is desperate. He's had a tough few years in the UK and thinks EK (which isn't even recruiting TP guys) is the answer to all his problems.
When money is low, you look at things very differently I guess. Poor sod. |

The statistics speak for themselves with the numbers of pilots developing serious long term illnesses significantly higher. They will say that's nothing to do with the type of flying, and quite ironically they sacked all those with sickness in the pandemic anyway. Always said, it's an acceptable gig short to medium term as an experience provided you have a robust exit plan but can never be considered as a 'career' as they write on the big banners in hotel conference rooms when they go out selling it. |

More blah blah blah
So they say we’ve had the best first half results ever!
Dhs 4.2 billion profit, dhs 56.3 billion yield all due to teamwork and planning! Then next breathe, next six months will be hard! Usual EK blah blah blah. note: record profit from less aircraft and less crew Knowing the profits so far why could they not repay those people who had their salaries reduced during COVID? It’s a fraction of the billions they will spend on aircraft interior upgrade and IFE upgrade?.But then again the IFE / cabin upgrade announcement was done that so they don’t have to pay profit share………. valued employees - not pay review next year - don’t hold your breathe they will think of some excuse not to give a decent one! |
Who reads that bull ****, all rubbish for moron peasants

Grade 9
Hi All, can anyone advise the current salary range for Grade 9 ground staff? Does Emirates pay a joining bonus, and if so, how much at G9?
Thanks in advance. QUOTE=AIMINGHIGH123;11233668]Its 42k AED with housing allowancE. Which is £9k after tax €10kish after tax depending what EU country. To get £8k after tax you need £180k minimum. If you going to compare salary you have to make it more realistic. Yes with company accommodation means you get 30k AED. Unless you’re living in a tent and living off the land in UK/EU that’s not comparable. Travel to and from work? That would be €300 minimum a month from a salary as an example. Edit to add: if you get something say like the above provided by company you would have to add your cost plus tax rate you pay to get the true cost. UK example: £300 in fuel means at 45% tax rate you have to earn £435 to cover that. Think that’s correct maths, you get what I mean though.[/QUOTE] |
