Well, I think these postings has lost its point. Living in this shoddy town and working for a shoddy run airline is essentially what the B**#ch was about. This place along with DXB reminds me like EuroDisney or a movie backlot. Its all cosmetic on the from the front, but when you look behind the curtains, its still a 3rd world country, with 3rd world mentality. Regardless of what Western culture ( ie ..technology, business....) is brought to the the area.
This also goes for the management. Everything is all ad-hoc. Band-aid solutions to problems, knee-jerk solutions. Never any fore thought to anything. Crisis (mis) management.
So take it as it is.
Nothing will change, if it does it will take a long time
