All of you guys that say it is so bad at FD should come over to the States, get a job at a regional that has better schedules and less misery, and you should then be OK when you get that $1,100 paycheck every two weeks. At this point some of us don't care for upgrading etc, we just want to be able to pay off student loans and save some damn money!!
Another thing: DXB is what you make of it, I have been there. If you want to live in a castle then be prepared to pay for it. It is possible to live well and modestly too. These assumptions that the cost of living will wipe out half your salary off the bat are misleading.
The challenge remains: I can get you an interview at my regional, $1,100 every couple of weeks, your choice of base - LAX, SFO, ORD etc
Now you do the math!
