Hi,
As Dubai is forever expanding, it appears that there are more people being "asked" to move to another location.
Now one of the largest rented compounds is DIC villas with perhaps 100 pilots there. The lease is due for renewal and I KNOW that in Dec the capped rents at DIC are removed and DIC enters the rat race of hiked rents. There has NOT been a resigning of the contract between Arenco and EK, as I know the people in Arenco who do this. What with the uncertainty of the future for the location of pilots, you then have to consider what would happen if all the children had to move schools if moved out to the desert.
Wow, the lack of communication is outstanding and why should headquartes worry anyway, we are only white collar expats, treated litle differently than the blue collar expats.
