I have quite a few friends who work for this bunch and they're bloody miserable. An absolutely dire place by all accounts, despite all the gold and bright lights.
I've heard their stories..
I feel sorry for them. At least the Virgin chaps on sabatical had light at the end of the tunnel, and had a bit of fun dune bashing and so on. And they were rightly chuffed to move on as soon as they got the chance!
I can't think of a worse major airline to fly for. Emirates is having a mass exodus as pilots FINALLY realise that it's all smoke and mirrors. But the unmentionable airline about a 100k south seems ok, for now.
Nasty business if you ask me.
AVOID AT ALL COST....
NB...
I ended up, 10+ years ago, heading to the far east as opposed to the middle east option, and for many years I regretted it, as I saw my colleagues getting their commands in the sandpit after only 3-5 years. Now, however, I feel I've dodged a massive bullet...
And another NB...
The number of deaths in the construction build up to the world cup should be a SHAME on the country, and they should be stripped of the privilege and abolished for any and all sporting events in the future.
What an utter DISGRACE.
