Jeez---a living hell? I've been here about 4 years and I kinda like it. Granted, we all have our " Dubai Days" but I think you should speak for yourself, not for me and the many other pilots whom you don't know. As far as the "rose tinted glasses" I needed mine the other day on the golf course. The sunshine here is awful.
I hope your new situation is good for you and your family. I know EK and Dubai is right for me and mine.
