I can confirm that's exactly what she said and I too, would never have left EK if that's the sort of money they were paying. No-one would leave. We'd all be glad to suffer for the cash. It's nowhere NEAR $70000.00 - not even for Pursers and CSD's let alone grade 2's. She also likened DXB to the Gold Coast in Queensland. Absolutely ridiculous. While DXB is a lovely place, I wouldn't call it Surfers Paradise!
