Best career move I have ever made was rejecting an invitation to come over for a DEC interview with EK, and that when desperate for a replacement job to the crap one I had.
Having gone into and out of Dubai for the last 12 years, I am not surprised to read of this latest travesty of justice. As it happens, I was laying over in Dubai when this article was printed in the local paper.
The sad affair brings to mind a story a local EK engineer told me over lunch. It was the last time I spoke to the mongrel.
He and his brothers regularly engaged in such activities as described in the article.
He bragged how this was 'always with white flight attendants', who presumably relaxed their guard when in his otherwise charming company during an aircraft dispatch or turn-around.
Inviting them out, he and his brothers would rape and molest the girls, whom they had often drugged.
The brothers were never been caught. On the one occassion a complaint was made, the police did begin an investigation. But 'the boys' strenuously denied everything. And being such outstanding individuals, read locals, nothing further was said or acted upon.
Lovely place, the Middle East.
Lovely place.
