Why do these threads degenerate into so much crap?

If you are not from an Airline EK will not accept you even if you have 20.000 hours.
Bollocks.
There are ex military pilots here with little or no civilian time. I believe the minimums state 2000 hrs mutli-crew, multi-engine jet time. Nothing about where it was attained and, based on the backgrounds of some of our pilots, it is enforced as it is written.

Please! If you are going to quote figures, then at least base it on something tangible.
Education in the UAE for expatriate children is generally very good since it is all private. Almost all expatriates use private schooling for their kids as this is fully paid by the Airline.
It is ALL private schooling for expatriates, let's make that clear. As for your last comment "fully paid by the airline"!!! So where has my AUD 10,000 gone this year? I guess you live in an apartment on SZR and the closest thing to children around you would be the CC.
