A few things worth considering when coming to DXB:
1) Get the biggest *******car/4x4 you can afford as it WILL save your life one day. The driving is scary and definitely dangerous.
2) Keep an eye out for your kids especially in their teens as there are bad elements out here probably due to the lack of after school activities.
3) For any sports, music and interests outside of normal schooling expect to pay for it (sometimes quite pricey). Schools do not provide a lot of extra cirricular activities.
4) Do respect the local customs as the authorities do not take kindly to any remarks about their faith or culture. Think before you speak especially when around locals.
5) If you are even considering driving after one drink.....give it up as the police will throw the book at you and lock you up. This stay at the Dubai gaol can be anywhere from one month or more.
6) Try and keep out of the company rumour mill as it will only make you bitter and twisted in a short span of time. Spend time with your loved ones instead.
MOVE TO EMIRATES......DEFINITELY!!
Hey drygin7, I think the gin has pickled your brain mate as I cannot recall anyone getting an A330 command in under one year. Maybe there are a secret group of pilots we don't know about....stealth A330 captains maybe???? Try and check out your sources before submitting it next time.
