The ME forum is not just for the privileged EK pilot, many people work for other operators and are not paid as handsomely as the flyboys and girls there.
there are many in this forum who are not tech crew and they get so much less.
Rents have increased exponentially and lets just be sure to say my and others pay have not.
If you are relying on a bonus to make ends meet then you are really in trouble.
The expo will be a blessing for the UAE, but an absolute curse on the working class here.
If you think rents have gone up now what do you think will happen if they get the Expo?
Many I know are already thinking of bailing from the UAE as it's just not worth it, rent makes up more and more of expenses every year.
Get a rent rise and then get a DEWA rise as well.
