Left EK a few months ago and did not regret it at all!
Even the numbers are smaller on my pay-cheque and I have to pay for my house, I love my new company and family life and lifestyle and must say, there is neither any lifestyle in Dubai (hahaha), nor is it worth the money or anything else.
Don't have to worry anymore, if Emirates keep their promises in the contract or brake them.
So glad, that we left after a few years, especially with the economic and political situation around this area in ME.
If something happens there in near future, then people are forced to leave, good luck to everybody selling their good quality villas and get out of the country without paying their outstanding depts.
All the best!
