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.
At the end of the day, these bastards have been very successful at slave driving for many, many years, it's only in the last decade or two that they've been 'running whites'.
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 Qatari 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.
