So, some analysis,
The letter was sent out to the Remainder of the 380 pilots with the exception of all UAE Nationals and 30 selected expats and 15 TREs.
Everyone in non company-owned rented will be asked to leave and move into company accommodation. EK owns the land and villas. Any money borrowed to build is from local banks which are all owned by the royals. People with mortgages will only receive that amount. Nothing more. Cost neutral pretty much.
The schools are owned (like JESS which is run by EK but don't tell anyone) by the family. Parents who actually pay fees have been subsidising EK kids for years. Hence cost neutral pretty much.
So clean out your provident fund. Spend 20 months savings in Dubai (8 plus 12) and then we give you one month and tell you to leave.
Think carefully and I can assure the 777 guys that you ARE NEXT. EK are manipulative liars.
Be careful
