Married crew

Holagirl -

Yes, there are crew within the company married to other crew, however you must move out of company accomodation once you inform the airline you're married. I don't know what the case is with crew married to other non-crew employees, but under UAE law you can't live with a person of the opposite sex unless you're related or married, and certainly not in EK cabin crew accomodation.

Of course once a married couple move out they're both entitled to the untilities allowance which is supposed to compensate for rent/water/power bills etc. which crew living in company accomodation don't get. Whether this amount is enough to cover costs is another debate all together...
