Fliion, during my 2 days in Dubai for the interview, me and the other candidate for my position were tagged on to a bunch of pilots who were over for selection. We were given the medical centre & school tour, then high tailed it down to Jebel Ali where we were shown a villa. Comments were made by all present about the size of the strip at the rear which constituted a garden, as it was all of 2 metres deep!
No mention was made of where any of us may end up being accommodated, just that the good lady who escorted us on the tour was living in Safa Park with her 777 flying husband.
What is grating a little is that we were asked to give preferred locations, and other preferences, and the list given was 1 item long!
Do we have the choice to choose? Can we choose the choice chosen? Are we purposeless? Should we show purposelessness? Or, should we be purposelessnessless?????????
