Recently got an EK invite for an interview. I fly to DXB every so often (freight)...so I have a good feel for the place. It's ok...but seems expensive for everyday items (food, cloths, cars etc).
Things concerning me about EK are:
1. I heard crews are getting only 8 DAYS OFF PER MONTH!!!
2. Inflation and the real value of local currency to the USD and Euro. Seems like many are leaving and going back to Europe because they are getting an instant pay cut because of the strong Euro.
3. Latest info on EK salaries? Is airlinepilotcentral.com accurate? If it is...that's a pretty low salary for living in Dubai with a family.
