The question is "berbaloi-ke"? That you have to ask yourself.
Basically all of them have taken a step backwards in anticipation of future gain. The payscales that existed in EK vs MH then were so far apart. It is getting closer. Whether it pays off in the end is the big question.

Ringgit de-peg (it was foreseen I suppose).
Rising cost of living in Dubai(hopefully does not rise faster than the potential financial gain).
Improved IP/AE training allowances - pay per day of LT and productivity in the Sim (not sure that 7 out of 8 of the leavers were IP/AE had anything to do with this proposed scheme).
Perceived reduction of terms and conditions (depends where you come from).

For some the decision was easy and for some a difficult decision to make.
Is the family happy? Is it worth it in the end? You have to ask them.
Who knows? Ask us in 20 years.....
