It surprises me how naive some EK pilots are. The writing was on the wall. Do a bit of research on Dubai's financial situation and all will be revealed. People think it's bounced back, maybe in some very small area's, but have a look at the overall BAD situation it's in. For one 110B US in debt . Trying to push tourism in Dubai is a joke, there is a very dark side to this place. Expats have to remember the 2 bucket plan.
