'management' are eroding T&C's to discourage pilots from UK, SA, Aus etc. from coming, so that they can employ pilots from other parts of the world who will be very happy to be in DXB for a lot less money.
So infact you are confirming that pilots from UK,SA, & Aus are generally avaricious and lazy in comparision with pilots from other regions, who are happier and thus more productive.
Must say sound judgment by EK management in that case eh!
