I was simply pointing out to the American who would send his kids to the American school how much it would cost him. Now I noticed that you picked out the lowest priced American school. Why did you not pick ASD which is 65,000 with a price rise to come next year like most schools in Dubai will do. I will bet you however much you would care to lose that the price hike next year from all the schools will be way more than EK raises it allowances. So we will all be further behind again. More next year than this year. Also you failed to metion in your calculations that EK only pays 90% after the first 10,000 or 15,000 so I am closer than you in the three months estimate.
This is a good thread for you and if you take this into CC or TCAS and show them your hard work I am sure that they will make you a LTC or even a TRI. You are well on your way to a mangement stoge.
We will get the word out about EK and Dubai.
