Hey, Teletubby....

These expats live in big villas, pocket fat tax free salaries, drive top of the range cars and their children go to private schools and have access to top medical doctors. They wine and dine in 5 star hotels and are enjoying their stay.
Top of the range cars ??? I have only seen a couple of old BMW's and a beaten up Boxter in the car park, no X5's or 500CLS's

Do they have non-private schools for expat kids in Al Ain ??

Do they drive to Dubai to see a doctor ??

Where are the 4 and 3 star hotels in Al Ain. What do you want them to do? Stay home in their huge villas ??

Doesn't sound much like they are enjoying their stay to me.

Etihad Airways has selected Horizon on a long term contract for training of its pilots. Etihad has recently signed the biggest contract with Boeing And Airbus for its 777 and A 380 aircraft.
Does this mean Etihad are going to start operating helicopters on long haul routes or are Horizon getting Airbuses ??
