Not to be compared with the pax contract staying in Dubai

Maybe I was not well understood.
What I meant was that some pilots will make more money taking this freighter option and LEAVING Dubai, due to their individual circunstances.
Anyone who goes to the freighter flete and decides to stay at the expensive Dubai will make a huge mistake in my opinion.
There's no comparison between this and our normal contract, you have to compare with the commuting jobs available.
Some pilots would leaving anyway, and this option may be an easier way to change your life and stop doing the turns and flying close to 100 hours than starting from zero in another company. Our group is quiet big and you can find many different personal profiles. Surely that will fit well for some, I just don't know if they'll be enough.
And Felixthecat, places like Lisbon or Barcelona are definitely not a labour camp!
In fact living in these places normally is better for westerns than living in Dubai.
