I've been here over 11 years myself and seen this attitude time and time again. Why can't people manage on 1 car? We did for 6 years without any inconvenience or hardship, even when I was a Captain. Pilots don't need one for work so why is one not enough? The debt that some individuals accumulate here in Dubai can be shocking as they try to compete with neighbours, the cars that locals drive or just simply treat dirhams as monopoly money.
I doubt for one minute if they were in their home country they'd be out buying brand new $40,000 4x4's as soon as they join their new airline so why do it here? As for
needing two cars, they should consider the difference between need and want. Most can quite easily manage on one, they choose not too!
Perhaps if some people took financial responsibility more seriously, they might be able to retire at 60.
