Watching this thread over the last few weeks, maybe we are part of a social experiment. It is the 5 stages of EK pay rises:
Denial - belief we will actually get one
Anger - when any email about T&Cs is received
Bargaining- skip this one as not allowed
Depression - on realising there is nothing you can do
Acceptance - don't like it but don't leave
I only just realised where we sit compared to back home. How many wide bodied Captain's cannot afford to buy a house where they live? No I am not talking about a 3 bed townhouse, a proper house reasonably near where they work. Unless you have 2 million AED in the bank, I don't see how it can be done. The worry is what I will have when I leave and how I will do in a high cost base country. Retirement might be a challenge.
