Is the service better than the typical 44 year seniority hags, yes.
I doubt any one of the EK, QR or EY employees think their pay is "unfair". I've talked with, drank with, dined with EK crews and most are happy enough, esp the flight attendants. Yes, the North Americans would rather come home, but the others mostly would be happy to stay. Some say they couldn't afford to go back home. I've flown with former Aussie, European and Japanese EK F/As,all were happy with their time there.

Of course they do.. Many come from Thailand and t the Philippines where hookers make more than doctors. But worker salaries isn{t the real issue anyway, and the ¨playboy bunny¨ comment was a jab at those that are always saying that it would make a difference.
Why don't you address the real issue raised in my post. You know the one about US taxpayer and UAE subsidized purchases of airplanes that AMERICAN companies have no access to?
