GROW UP GUYS!!!!
Personal attacks ain't going to solve anything.

Yes things are different in that part of the world, and yes when you have bashed your head against a brick wall for too long, trying to help better the system, you do move away. If you don't you become bitter and blame the woes on others not understanding the bigger picture.

Firstly, the main problem about both the UAE ACC and Dubai APP system is that decisions made by the UAE DCA over-rule those made by the Dubai CAA. Therefore no 'meaningful' discussions take place to better operational standards and procedures.
Secondly, the Service Company do not want to go out on a limb and push for a system that may be better - if they upset the wrong person in their endevours their cash-cow will end.
Thirdly, and this is not meant in a derogatory way to the locals, but they seem to get taken for a ride by any slick talking 'expert'. Hence the supreme power vested in the Dane.

Perhaps things have changed since I left Dubai ATC some 4 years ago, but judging from the moans and gripes, I doubt it.
