As is rightly mentioned, we are fairly well protected while we are in EK accommodation. What we see at the end of the month is our pocket money. If you are inclined to take on additional roles, SFI etc, then you can add another 5k+ to the equation. Saying that EK recently demonstrated their ability to change things at a drop of a hat by telling 7 SFI's they were no longer needed. Good luck to all with your choices....
