Yet another
who doesn't live in Dubai, doesn't work for EK, but is quite willing to dispense advice to those who do. Based on their "friends" who've been in DXB for about five minutes and were thrilled to escape from no doubt some crap lo-co. It's so repetitive it's tiresome.
If you're so convinced it's the greatest, just get on with it already and apply. But go away and quit trying to convince the inmates, it's so obvious that you're just trying to self-justify that you should become one yourself.
Just be aware that there is no "first-hand experience" to be had until you have the resident visa in the passport.
