Life in UAE (Etihad and Emirates).

Pilots moan, if they don't something is wrong.

Could anyone shed some light on what life is like flying in UAE?
Thinking primarily about Etihad but perhaps also Emirates.

I have spent several months living in hotels in Abu Dhabi four years ago and quite like the place but can I ask?

What kind of place can you afford of the FO's housing salary, how often are you at home/away? Is the roster stable? What is the working environment like, how are the other guys? Is there a social scene for families outside of work? Does the shine rub off UAE or is it still pretty cool (scraped ice off my car this morning back in blighty)

As you can tell a lot of these questions are aimed at placating OC Domestic.

Whilst standing by for the normal type of replies - any good points or PMs are very welcome.

Ta very much,

Gazeem
