The major difference now, but not 30 years ago, these inofficial companies do not exist for LH or other European carriers anymore, hence their business transactions are very transparent.
The 'thin' annual report EK is publishing leaves a lot of open questions...
The FA leases the house direct from the landlord. The salary package this guy is under includes housing allowance. Very much like many enterprises and even government agencies do, not just in the region but also around the world.
If EK is PAYING for an allowance as party of a package to an employee, can you please explain how a 3rd party or affiliate pays again for such a thing?
The thickness of a report is not an indicator of how transparent an airline is.
