Interesting thread, Airmann.
Must say, never seen this in my 10+ years in EK, but then again, I took the full salary very quickly after joining and never had to live next door to other pilots and their families. Them folks over at Meydan South, East, North & Northwest might have a different take on this.
I know you are not with EK, but at least you get one off-campus EK pilots input.
Black Pudding has some sound advice :-)
