HI there again
I have written some of my thoughts here in EK crew discussions:

I dont want to scare anyone. I just want the people make sure that they are doing the right thing when they come. You expectations must match or exceed the reality. The thing about pregnancy is true. Your embassies expect you to familiarise yourself with the law of the country of residence ( in this case UAE) and even if you are a modern country (EU) citizen it will not help in this case.
Overally, there is 10% people leaving EK every year and about 20 % joining, so having mature understanding of life and opinios here will only help.
