Bymonek,
I beg to differ regarding the cost of living equation. I left EK as a Training Capt to come to Hong Kong as an FO. I now save twice what I did before. Also the company is kind enough to give me an EK Capt starting salary per month to help me buy a flat. Yes thats 1Million US over 15 years in addition to my salary which is much more than I earnt in EK. Not to mention my 62 days leave my travel fund of 50K Dhms per year and Oh yes 13 months pay.
In addition I get 15% bonus every year. Tends to work out around 230000 Dhms over 3 years.
You guys are SADLY underpaid and would do this industry a great service by walking as I did.
Or you could bury your head in the sand and wait for the shafting.
