What prejudice? to start with, no one here (afaik) was present at the situation and know why the airline chose to suspend the member of staff - based on the news article it seems odd to me, but there may be more facts than a newspaper article chooses to mention
With a suspension occurring, then it does not seem surprising that the person is not being paid whilst suspended
Why should a "western viewpoint" be viewed as correcc; the person has chosen to work for a company in Dubai and its laws apply
Not like the "west" nevessarily has great emplyment laws - the US seems to be pretty poor in employee protections
