Hi folks,
I'm sorry that I am not CCrew (cockpit Emirates), but if you go down to the Middle east forum in the PPRuNE forums you will find ALL your answers there I am sure. From My point of view, it is a great place with lots to do, plenty of fun to be had and as westernised and cosmopolitan as you want to make it. Most CCrew seem to really enjoy the lifestyle, if you stay a little time you will go away with a great experience. If you intend to stay a long time then promotions seem to be coming quickly as there is lots of new equipment inbound. Best of luck in your decisions, it's definitely worth joining for a little if not a long time. It is what you make of it!
