Thanks AC , I have been thinking about Emirates lately , but you can sit back , relax , and know that you`ve helped one pilot avoid making the decision to work for such an Airline , so you`ve helped at least one fellow pilot with your posting. I`m not that desparate. I don`t want to slag the flight crews for their choices , but nothing will change in that part of the world. Once GWB leaves and BHO takes over , you`ll have an America worth going back to. Good luck.
