One of the T and C's that has just changed is free housing, there is now a cap on utilties 21600 Dhs / year . some guys at DSO have checked their bills 31000 to 40000. Would really like to hear more actual numbers from guys. The memo talked about recovering extra direct from pay at 1000/ month, does that mean that the average is closer to 36000/ year and we are only getting 21600. 21600 is not very much. Water 3fil/L and power 7fil/Kwatt ( i think those are the correct numbers)
Another rumour is deferred orders in 2010/2011, dont be looking at EK for a upgrade quickly. 2400 pilots year end 2009/2010 (Apr). Airbus upgrades starting again in Aug , have not heard about the 777.
