It is fast becoming widespread knowledge that the 'big wheels' in the neighbouring Gulf Airlines have agreed a verbal no poaching agreement. Verbal because even here that is illegal. This is of particular concern if you are with a transition airline like Air Arabia and you want to move your career forward in the Gulf. Or if you work for Etihad and your wife gets a job in Dubai and you want to move to Emirates...no can do. As I say in the civilised world this is illegal but then the UAE is listed as a 'developing nation', one up from 'third world'!!! A promotion too far methinks!!!
