Please bear in mind that they tell you the salary is low but look at the benefits. EK are experts at manipulation. Look at how they can change your benefits and say it isn't part of the contract. Look at how they changed the pilots' hours from 75 to 92. Put a cap on utilities overnight. The special tickets fiasco. Getting staff to contribute to school fees and moving the goal posts on the level of fees that they will pay up to when EK used to pay all the fees. Also, note EK are not subject to UAE Labour Law.
Two websites have sprung up recently:
https://donotflyemirates.wordpress.com
http://www.emirates-illuminati.org
The latter is now blocked in Dubai
Perhaps that might give you an idea of the mindset.....
Also, please note high levels of resignations from across the board. FD, CC, EK Engineering etc.
Good luck, please read all the threads on Housing, Inflation, School places, etc.
