Grumble please post on something you have a clue about. #1 there are f/a's that have been at Ek since the inception of the airline in 1985. Many many in their 30s and 40s who have and are raising families in Dubai. No different than the legacies in the late 70s and early 80s. #2 And I don't know of one pilot that has ever had his/her pay withheld. And probably a lot like any non unionized carrier in Europe and North America. But of course it's realized that unions are illegal in the M.E. But with all the code shared airlines in China.....you boys need to look a bit further East or West.
