Felix, the half-pay did indeed go back to full pay towards the end of 2020, just as the 380 crews were hit with up to a year of unpaid leave. The redundant crews were absolutely in an awful position but they at least had three months' full salary and the provident fund to tide them over and pay the bills for a while. The people on unpaid leave had to rely on savings or take out loans, which will now need repaying just as prices are rocketing up (well, rocketing up even more than they usually do in Dubai). The 4-week bonus, although welcome, wouldn't even dent the financial damage caused by living on savings and loans for up to a year and a half. The fact that other people in other parts of the world are worse off really isn't much consolation.
I suspect there may be quite a few pilots suffering from anxiety.
