EK worldwide
I really don't like being negative but do you really think that EK is going to do something like CX and have other bases. I mentioned before that EK would have to go by the labour laws of the country it's in. Not to mention the riot it will cause in Dubai to offer new joiners bases other than Dubai instead of the current group of pilots. It will have to snow first in the sandpit, but I guess that's happened already with the ski hill!
As for Traders comments about getting the housing allowance that's a great idea but do you really think TC will go for that. EK always wins! Great other ideas Trader but to be an expat you have to give eveything up in your own country to avoid paying tax.
As MR8 mentioned it will piss off to many guys in the sandpit.
