DXB comments.
Been down DXB a few times. Also got a few mates at EK, who have been there for years, and they have shaped my opinion. I'm talking about the locals and their laws, along with the absence of protection for the mass of overseas workers. I'm particularly critical of the way lower-paid immigrant workers are treated. Which is starting to include aircrew.
Don't be offended, dustyprops; my comments are echoed around these threads.
(And there are some good bits to Dubai too, to be fair)
