• These are "up to" figures and assume 75 flying hours a month, which is close to the ceiling, so a normal month pays less.
• They are made up of four items: basic pay, flying allowance, housing allowance and layover/meal allowance.
• The education allowance (AED 40,000 primary / AED 55,000 secondary, up to three children), income protection, insurance, staff travel, end-of-service benefit and relocation support are not included in the figure.
• Flights carrying a relief crew count as 75% (captains).
