Emirates - The Real Deal?

Hi All,

I am seriously considering a move to the desert. Apart from the basic pay and conditions deal which is readily available, I would like to know what it is truly like working and living there?

What are rosters like and other work related issues?
Family life - wife, kids, schools, accommodation etc?
Culture - work and living from an expat view?
Promises - do they say one thing and do another?
Money - how much can you save and still enjoy life?
Life - leaving home and raising kids overseas - schooling etc?

Please do not post if you have not lived and worked there, I am after real information from those who have made the move and what reality really is like.

I would be going with a wife and three small children and would probably envisage a 10yr plan.

Thanks.
