I'm really only half serious about all that arabian girl talk, but this sort of response was kindof what I was wondering if I would get. Do you work out there? Or are you just responding to stereotypes?

Dundem, that article is a good one, thanks. Sounds like they are looking to make take big steps. That has got to lead to a lot of upgrades.[/QUOTE]

You sound like you may do well at EK. The things that seem to matter to you will be available. It is sage advice to leave the local women alone. Once there, after a while, you will figure who/what is off limits. However, as a new joiner stay away from the locals for a while until you have your IRs aligned.

Regarding how much you can save, it really depends on you. I know guys who save $5,000 (as a single F/O; this is not typical) per month and some who save $0. If you set a savings target for yourself you can make it happen.
