Some people do not do proper investigations etc before they make the move. My wife and family are however very keen on moving to Dubai. One of the main reasons why my wife is keen is for the kids education and long term future.

You can investigate as much as you wish based on what has and is happening in EK and Dubai as a whole. However, what many of us are asking you to consider is what will happen in the years ahead.
Remember these two important facts.
• F/Os joining now will be in the RHS for considerably longer than the past.
• EK have absolutely no desire to increase salaries to match inflation in Dubai. Supply and demand dictates any future salary increase.
Finally ask yourself this question whilst taking the above into account.
'Can I provide the quality of life that I wish to give my family in the years ahead?'
The days of being able to budget with a degree of certainty as an F/O, for three years before the command came are well and truly over. You could be spending two to three times that in the RHS. Can you justify the move for being on a F/O's salary 6-9 years from now?
