I just found this horrifying story of an ex-Emirates staff.. not sure if she was cabin crew or working for another department though. The story is quite long so I'm just going to post the link. It's nothing negative about the airline itself, but rather how the Dubai government handled a traveller (the ex-Emirates girl)...

Ok.. input "blog spot . com" where the stars are... seems blog urls won't show up in the forum.. kind of bizarre?
