As for all the jobs? What jobs? I’m not in the US where there does seem to be a few at the moment and people are leaving the sandpit for. The rest of the world is a desert, the few jobs that have appeared and I applied to haven’t even written back to me, and I have a lot of experience over many years.
Emirates always had special ways but its treatment and complete disregard for its loyal staff was shocking. It works until it doesn’t, some people still still there thinking they are special and super talented so they were kept on are in for a shock one day.
