I know what they say in the application form. i was trying to see if they were flexible or not with that requirement.
You are lucky! With my previous employer I saw several guys getting sacked because they apply to another company, and some become unemployed because they didnt get the job they were applying to.
With my current employer I dont even want to try it...and probably i will give up going to Emirates just because of this. I am happy you had reasonable and normal persons for management at the companies you worked for, but you have to see that not everyone is that lucky. And not everyone can risk loosing their job that way.....
