I have been here almost 10 years and still enjoy it. Dubai is not for everyone but I am an outdoor type so have no interest in malls, brunches etc which would drive anyone to insanity week in week out.
For those of you who say " I would consider Emirates if..." the reality is they now have thousands of applications and the number grows daily just look at the failure rate on the initial interviews. The standard of new pilots in my opinion has risen dramatically over the last year and that's down to the airline having a huge pool to pick from.
Big news in the near future on a 380 order thst dwarfs anything previously ordered...
