BYMONEK - very god post matey. I agree with all you've said, although in the past I've been accused of having the old rose-tinted. It's what you make of it guys!!!!! And seriously, if you don't like working here then get on an aeroplane and GO.....
I'm not saying that everything's perfect at EK, but every airline has issues. And with a 100 odd aircraft to come to the airline in the next eight years you'll have your command in three years.
Yes, lot's of night flying - it's a LONG HAUL airline
My family and I still having a great time in Dubai, all these months after being told I was talking sh1te. Sorry to disappoint you doom mongers.
I've personally seen far worse driving in Brussels than here in Dubai, although there are some real corkers here it has to be said
