I think many are coming to the same conclusion, especially if the schooling allowance is lacking and the housing allowance is paltry. These are the main expenses for families. 68% of my income goes to housing and schooling! I don't work for EK.

But this is Vegas and the stuff of dime novels; a cross between Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Dodge City and the Klondike. Life in the ivory towers continues, with the dream merchants oblivious to the crushing pressures further down the scale.

We all know as long as your bottom points too the ground and you walk into a supermarket and you find a apple at 1 aed you can rest assured that it will be 2 aed in 5 yrs. will the salary double no. Do I expect our salary to double no but dare I say we would have to be worth an extra 30 per cent. Will we see it.
Well I probably can say with total surety no
This is the out right truth. Ek pay on what the rest of the market is paying not what the cost of living is in dubai. I have always said you earn a dollar a month and if it costs you 1.20 a month what the hell are we doing here.
