    The 2008 Pay Review is out and it's pretty reasonable news for EK drivers.

    New hire first officer basic pay will now be Dirhams 22,720/month ($6174) plus roughly $855 in flying pay (45 Dirhams per hour). Current employees also get a 3% step increase to their basic pay. So the job is now roughly $84,000/year to start. With the bonus, overtime, and step increments the pay is higher still for current pilots. That's tax free as well.

    Review of housing and school allowances will come in June.

    This is the 4th consecutive year of more than 10% pay raise for EK pilots :).

    Wow 84k a year tax free is roughly what gross in the US? This probably puts Emirates on par or above UPS/FEDEX. With the condition the US economy is in with almost no hope of recovery ever (IMO) Im pretty sure my next career move is somewhere overseas.

    Definately a great job out there, great aircraft, villa provided, and given the way the dollar is right now, a good pay packet.

    But, it's certainly worth noting how expensive Dubai is as a place to live. There is an extra-ordinary amount of corporate money in Dubai, and prices to suit. This has caused inflation to skyrocket well above EK rates of pay, from what I understand.

    Still, it's great to see them raising the pay stakes nicely and with some consistency. Plus, if the middle east isn't for you, what a fantastic way to build up widebody time in different surroundings, and experience a different part of the world..
