Thank you for your reply SASless.

Yes, I know that the average take home pay in the US, after tax, would be about what we are offering. So, if you are looking to finish work and be home with the family an hour after landing then you should come here.
I have two growing daughters with me in Dubai. They have both gone out to see Alicia Keys in concert tonight. I don't know who she is. Next week I am going to see Bryan Ferry live. I am of an age who does know who he is.
Last year it could have been Elton John or Pink Floyd or Mariah Carey; it doesn't matter who they are, but they are all here within thirty minutes from home.
My point is that you decry such a salary for being away from home. When you are here it is home. There is far more going on in Dubai than in Des Moines or Great Falls.
My apologies for calling you SENSeless.
