^^ what Dixi said. Silently the end of service payment has been reduced for new joiners who leave within 5 years (or something similar). Add this to a basic salary that hasn't changed in years, and is below that of EK and QR. The end of service payment is not a pension (i.e. does not get invested). You also get no Audi pickup to and from work, company accomodation isn't great hence most take the allowance, but this allowance doesn't go far because it also hasn't changed in years despite a constant increase in housing (and other life costs) in UAE. AUH is far behind DXB in terms of being a good lifestyle city for an expat, yet the rental prices ate higher and the range of choice less.

You don't get profit share, just a very small performance/corporate bonus (max 1 month), however this year it was not paid due to bad financials (but they made more profit than ever before).

A380 B787 B777 are the best fleets in terms of roster, lifestyle and income. But why anyone wants to give up their job at home to come here even on those fleets is beyond me.
