And there was me thinking that this thread was about Big Brother on the south side of DXB! FYI @transport jock many of us here at EK have had several months of Unpaid Leave; even with housing and medical benefits (only in UAE btw) it has been difficult. Maybe with the average experience levels being higher on this side of the runway we are more likely to have mortgages, big families, loan etc. I don't have other 'financial issues' at play but several months of UL wasn't the easiest few months of my career!
Whatever... Hoping all at EK and FZ get back to work and making a living! Blue Skies
