Are guys really happy at Emirates or are they just telling themselves they are happy because they have no options? There is a lot of delusion going on and as I mentioned in an earlier post a lot of medications from the clinic are used to get to that state of "happiness."
8 days off a month for the last year and no end in sight is a sure bet for an early grave especially with the type of flying we do.
Save your marriage, your health and sanity and stay in the US. You will be glad that you did. Emirates is no long term solution.
