Jose Ignacio, I couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!!!
And for the rest: Let's not forget that the international standards are pretty much the same everywhere. Just go to any ICAO office and ask!!!!!
By the way, you don't need to be cheap in order to be willing to apply for EK. It's a matter of "demand and offer". Just ask all the Europeans that are looking for a job in the Middle East.
Cheers
