i may as well explain what the job is. I assume I am anonymous on here.

I am a lawyer. Before you all start - I am an aviation finance lawyer, not a nasty ambulance chaser.

I work at a law firm. A very good one.

The job in question is for a commerical lawyer with a focus on aviation finance - no doubt to deal with all the new aircraft mentioned in the threads here.

For various reasons, most of which would be of no interest to anyone here, I'd like to do a stint in-house at an airline.
EK looks like an interesting prospect - I'd certainly be kept busy with the orders they have and the work on offer is good quality. It'd be an interesting change and like I said would do my career no harm - I could always walk back into private practice from there and the experience could only stand me in good stead. Of course I may want to stay.

I am familiar with the UAE, so I know the pluses and minuses of living there in general terms.

But working at EK - I've not got a clue what it would be like.
If my last tour of the middle east is anything to go by, I imagine that I would report to an incompetent idiot who takes credit for my successes and blames me for his failures.

But that might not be the case.
Hence the questions...
