The Delta rates are a bit low because they don't factor in the raise of Jan 14. Top is around $271 now. Most people can expect another 10% in soft pay. Also DC fund is 16%.
Biggest benefit though is QOL. At EK there is very little in my opinion because if you can't have any predictability or transparency within your day to day life then life just blows. EK gives you a bit of a warm fuzzy when it comes to long term security but day to day life is abysmal and I actually enjoy Dubai.
If any pilot at EK starts any threat briefing without listing the company in and itself as the biggest threat to any flight operation then they are walking around with a blind spot the size of Putin's ego.
