Thanks J.L.Seagull
Thank you for sharing the useful info to me.
For the job, 8 to 10 turnaround or weekly chk are quite a challenge during a 12 hrs shift. Now I'm dealing with max 5 during 8 hrs, work with 1 or 2 mechanic on each flt. If even one a/c got unscheduled work to do just like wheel change, I would be so crazy. I work at airline station not a base. Don't have backup sitting there. I've to do every handy job with others, even go to pick up wheel and tooling. So I guess EK line maint has very good support once there is extra work to do, am I right?
For living in Dubai, is it safe? This is my major concern. I'm married and have a 5 yr old daughter. So many muslim countries don't like western people especially americans. How those western people survived in this mideast country? How is the terror attack avoided?
Yes, you are absolutely right. My wife might be a issue for moving to there. She is a DayCare teacher now. So can she work there by using the visa she entitled? Is it very hard to find a job for her?
Thanks again.
You have a nice flight.
