Much Ado, the Dubai guys didn't really get a 90% payrise.
It was about a 70% of their basic pay, which makes up only a part of their total package.
Mind you, they are now on 209,160 Aussie dollars, tax free...even with the shocking conversion rate out of the yankee dollar
There are probably a few overworked Ausie approach guys out there that wouldn't mind that kind of pay packet
(hey all you guys in Perth!)
