Emirates Pay

[Green]

It's all available online. If you take the housing allowance you get an additional 3,633USD/month added to your paycheck. You can get up to 6 months of that as an advance.

I'm a 4 year FO flying the 777. My average paycheck is 27,500 dirhams a month. That comes out to $7493 dollars take home a month. I also live out of accomodation. I get 160,000 dirhams a year for that. 160,000 divided by 12 is 13,333 which is $3632 per month. Add the two together it come out to 11,125 take home a month. That does not include any bonus (if we were to get one), per diem money for the overnights, the deduction of 5 percent contribution to retirement, the 12 percent of my salary amount that Emirates puts into retirement. It's not first year pay but hope that helps. The only difference between my pay and first year pay would be you average paycheck per month. Housing allowance is the same regardless of what year you are. I would think would make around 25,000 dirhams a month as a first year FO after everything they take out.

LOL! Record high for Dubai is 118 degrees F. Dubai heat and Texas heat is not very different

Question guys. Is there an age limit when applying for Emirates?Txs

 

[TWINZ@11]

Per the OMA "age limit for First Officer is 53 with experience commensurate with age"...what is actually competitive right now, I have no idea.

We are all heart broken that you are not going to join us out here!!!!!! Take care and enjoy. By the way, when I was in Florida for the Summer, the average temperature was 105 F daily, add the humidity and it felt like 120 F, not much difference. uba757

I could have joined you Dec 2004, but your disrespect as a country towards women was a no go......sorry.

Since I am an American, I don't know what disrespect the U.S. Has shown towards women, so I don't know what you are talking about but everyone has the right to their opinion and to say or rant about what ever they want.
People come and people go, it is the nature of the beast in aviation. Some leave because they have been here 8, 10, 12 years and is time to leave and start new things, others leave because they were passed up for upgrade or feel that they have been mistreated in one way or another. I don't know where you work so when you say people have left and gone to where you are at, it is what it is but everyone has a story, good or bad, true or false and you have to take it for what it is, a story of personal experience. uba757

So you chose to stay in a country where mgt and the average population have little respect for pilots? Women can do everything men do in the UAE. Very different from places like Saudi Arabia. Although the social norms are much more restrictive than you might be used to. Lots of pilots quit after putting in a certain amount of years in Dubai. Different reasons. Very few want to spend the rest of their lives as expats. Individuals resigning doesn't mean the EK package is not superior to most stateside contracts. But to each his own...

Listen Sherlock..

In three years time from now he'll probably be sitting LHS in a heavy making $200-250k plus (overall packakge) having been chauffeur driven to work on his way to a 4-5 star hotel with 15 good looking gals reading an article in the WSJ about the collapse of another 'major' carrier that had to furlough guys from the bottom of some combined list. That furlough will have put a lot of guys out of their misery of sitting commuting RSV for five years flying with skyhags from hell...making squat.

Dont review a book you haven't read...it looks silly.

As to human rights...no drive-by gang bangers in our neighborhood and expat kids leave school here actually knowing how to read and write.

back to your four leg a day life jnr..

ps. anyone calling himself a sniper on-line hasn't seen ********************e...

Isnt the upgrade at SWA projected to be 19 years or something. Very young pilot group

 

[BigEasy]

Yes, upgrades will be in the 20+ year range. Keep in mind that pay and benefits are good from the right seat however.
