I know someone who managed to get their pound of flesh from both flag carriers in the same ME country....but not while in the ME!
And no, I cannot give you the details...just that they are more prone to settle to avoid media exposure and damage to the brand.

You are definitely fresh off the plane if that is what you think.
I need more than one hand to count the lawsuits I know friends are ramping up with lawyers outside the UAE.
It has been mentioned 2x, but plenty have successfully sued EK.
Hell, a law firm in Oz has contacted pilots to see if they are interested in a class action lawsuit. Lawyers can smell money from the moon.

The brand is pretty much all they have of value at the moment, that needs protection from the fierce light of public scrutiny at all costs. You have a year to take it to the courts.
Because my country (Australia) has absolutely no jurisdiction whatsoever in the UAE, nor does any other country for that matter. There is also no "Fair Work Australia" or "Ombudsmen", legal aid, state funded legal defence. The cornerstone of fair & just judicial system is a court of your peers overseen by a duly appointed Magistrate. A mere illusion in Dubai or anywhere else in the UAE for that matter as the same people who oversee the "legal" system are the small group of extremely well funded, opaque & blatantly corrupt UAE nationals who fund & manage the worlds most secretive, market manipulating city & airline group. I hope the terminated staff receive what they are entitled to, I really do but I doubt it will go down that way. There is a lesson in all of this for those dazzled by the bright lights & hollow promises of the Middle East (and the Far East for that matter) in the future.
