Exchange Rate Protection Pay

This is a compensation mechanism in addition to the monthly salary which protects employees from monetary fluctuations due to the appreciation of home country currencies against the UAE Dirham (AED). Approximate monthly payouts for a sample group of currencies are represented in the following table, which is based on the exchange rates for December 2006. Actual payment in any given month would vary up or down depending upon the exchange rate of the given month.

Exchange Rate Protection Pay First Officer Captain
Starting basic salary in AED 19,660 28,060
AUD Australian Dollar 1,300 1,860
NZD New Zealand Dollar 1,210 1,735
CAD Canadian Dollar 1,245 1,785
GBP Pound Sterling 1,265 1,815
EUR Euro 1,210 1,735
ZAR South African Rand 280 405
BRL Brazilian Real 1,455 2,085

All of the above, plus a (not guaranteed but so far always paid) 3% increment per year. Increases to base for the last two years have been 10% and 6% (plus introduction of Flight Pay) respectively.

Have not heard anything of accommodation allowance increment for this year (apart from the 12% for Pursers). Any announcement likely soon?

I think thats where they got the money to supplement the payrise.I have also just recieved another school fee rise.

Not sure if it is public knowledge, but I think Mensaboy is Canadian. Something he said earlier reminds me of one. Mensa is that so?

I haven't been here for quite sometime but reading this trash has been humerous to say the least. In fact I haven't posted for so long I had to accept the forum rules again, so I must be welcoming, courteous, cautious, appropriate and ethical. Well, here goes;

Mensaboy,

You are a TWIT.

Best regards,

Kiwi.

Ps, Gidday Muttley how are you?

www.ailinepilotcentral.com has some EK payscales posted.

Haven't EK uped the pay for both captain and fo recently???? What is the figure we are looking at now??:confused:

That's after the payrise, straight from the web-site!

The pay on that website is about three years old....not updated. It's about 30% higher than posted....maybe more just to be fair.

It's exactley what Payscale posted with the increments I mentioned-We may have some clue...as we both work there!!:rolleyes:

Rubbish SALTAIRE!!

The figures on the website are UPDATED figures with the payrise!!!!!

hard to believe i know probably still looks three years behind!:{

ha ha ha ha

That says a lot about the fair comments of the "positive guys" on this website...

Payscales figures are correct...the website has been out of date for awhile....6600US for a Captain is NOT correct, nor is the FO figures....have a closer look. It's about 8200 US year 1 Captain now plus the new productivity and currency protection.

Bikker....whatever. You don't have to yell. The numbers are wrong as to what I have seen.

RUBBISH BIKKER,

That site says first year Captain pay is $6600 US base which equals 24240 UAE Dirhams. I'm sure you know that figure is now just under 30000.It also doesn't mention flight pay.

People come here for accurate information. If you are not willing to give it, perhaps you shouldn't post.

Who cares about the correct amount in dollars - unless youre an american. I took the figures from the web site and only the numbers for a captain - I didnt post the FO side - looks pretty correct to me. Including the new hourly rates.
I wish they were higher too, but that the reality today. :cool:

Things have changed rapidly....We use to all care about the dollar, but it seems it is on a steady decline, I agree... It certainly is a real concern and the currency protection is limiting to say the least. Those of us from Europe, Canada, and the lands down under might be in for more downside :ouch:

Life in EK
 

Who know about the life in EK and capt salary..?

Mensa Little Boy,

Better hope a North American Union never comes to pass because we both know that half your country would empty out and move south in short order. Can't say as I've ever met a Yank who wants to move to the Great White North, though I do see the occasional article about an aging hippie or some such.

I lived in Toronto for a year and very much liked the people, maybe because they don't exude your type of obvious inferiority complex. I sincerely hope your strange method of webboard therapy helps.

By the way, if you had done any real flying in North America, you'd have often heard Air Canada and Jazz types reading back 2-4-OH, you w-a-n-k-e-r.

If you find this to be too harsh for your fragile ego, please be advised that this is mild stuff compared to what I've heard your french speaking countrymen say about you swell "Canadians." And they like Americans. :E

And welcome to the warm, friendly brotherhood that is Pprune! What a first post! No wonder this site is becoming a laughing stock.:rolleyes:
