Couple of points:
1). We're all here now because we dont want to pay the taxes that support progressive democracies...so stop the sanctimonious critique of DXB...we were'nt press ganged to the sandpit.,,we're greedy like those you seek to assail.
2). EK mgt are crap??...10% margins,...highest in the industry. Their job is not to take care of you, its to take care of the shareholder(s). And if you hadn't figured out who the shareholder is when you signed the contract then, you deserve nothing.
3). Maids in DXB have maids in PH. taking care of their kids. Is it crap? Of course. Is it better than what they had? Yes. Again ..supply v. demand.
4). LR3 - when are you going to step up to the plate and leave,,,seriously man, have you no balls. Year in, year out - a broken record of misery, yet you have done nothing about it.
Sad.
None of the above is optimum...but it is free choice,
