Try as it might the Middle East is a far cry from Europe despite everything going on now.
Labour law, property rights and civilian rule are just some of the niceties of Europe. After all these refuges are not trying to sneak into Saudia Arabia, Jordan or the UAE which are all much closer and a safer passage to get to. I wonder why?
On the thread Emirates will not park airplanes, they will do whatever's it takes to run the airline and if that includes lowering their standards for new hires, not awarding vacation and flying 110 hrs a month you can guarantee they will do that with more draconian measures to come.
