Thats why Im thinking about applying to the commute cargo roster...just because of it. Not happy with my actual earning and there's nothing better than EK around here, but still don't want to leave my family (parents etc) for almost forever...my father had a illness last year and thats a huge concern for myself.

The Cargo contract is many things but a commuting contract it most certainly is not!
You are based in Dubai and happen to get blocks of 13 days off in a row in exchange for a 15% cut in basic salary and a whole lot of other degradations to your terms and conditions.
What you choose to do with those days off at base is up to you. If you wish to travel to see family in Brazil you will do it at your own considerable expense and suffer the stress of not getting back to Dubai on a subload ticket for your next rostered duty or go broke by paying for a confirmed seat.
The cargo contract is
NOT a commuting contract.
