Dubai banking questions

So I am continuing my education of the situation in Dubai. If I were to get on with Emirates I would continue to own my home in the US (even though of course it's already on the market..... ) and would have to make payments.

I would plan on sending a fair amount of my pay back to the US each month.

How easy or hard is it to do this? I have heard some banks are tougher than others to deal with locally. But most banking is done online anyway.

What's the scoop about banking and pay at EK?

When are the pilots paid each month? How are they paid? Direct deposit? Can they then turn around and transfer that into a non-UAE bank? Can the pilot choose his own bank, like UBS or Credit Suisse?

Thanks!
