You have to admit its a win/win/win for the company. If the very senior/expensive captains move to the new so called villas then the company saves a lot of money. If they opt out, the company save a lot of money. If they quit, the company replaces them with cheaper captains and yes, saves a lot of money. I just hope the would be new joiners see how Emirates is racing to the bottom in the same way Ryanair did, one step at a time. With the occasional leap when they think they can get away with it.
