Dubai is Great
I'm sitting here in the executive lounge at the JW, and just finished three weeks at ECFT.
My feelings are that Dubai is as good or better than DFW, SAV or LGB, or anywhere else I've been.
1. They pick you up at your hotel
2. Food is MUCH better than any others
3. Building is better than DFW and worlds ahead of LGB or SAV
4. Dubai is a great city.
5. Instructors are about the same everywhere, I very much enjoyed the five I had here.
6. Sims are nice.
ECFT is a joint venture with CAE and Emirates. I asked about deals on tickets and upgrades, and they can't get them for the instructors who are flying here and there. Deals on hotels aren't much either, but better than in US. I pay $110++ a night for the JW!
Call them and negotiate price the best you can. I paid through Dallas, and came here so work all your angles.
Downside: Bonedaddy's is only in DFW
There ya go!
