Small repeat

Hi all,
If any current EY crew can verify these things for me i would be appreciative- I'm looking at returning to the UAE and think Etihad might be the way forward.
I'm quite concerned at the salaries, at face value it's less than EK (3000dhs base versus 3650) and the set pay of 288 a day? What if you are on a 14hour JFK? Say you had a 'rest' day the day before- is that classed as a duty day and hence payable? What bout when you are down route? you are in BNE for the night- do you get your 288 as you land there that morning PLUS 384 food allowance? or just one or the other? And for those that say they never make less than 9000, is that as a junior economy crew member? And how many hours/ flights is that?
I'm pleased to hear accomodation sounds the same.
When you say trained on 320, is that short haul? If I joined eithad and wasn't trained on 320 could I at all avoid turn arounds and BOM!?
I was also pleased to hear bout friends being able to travel. That sounds great!
Any info from current crew is appreciated!
