I'm a woman and I found the ad a little... off. Ok if it's her thing and what she likes to do, but I feel like if they wanted to show off the Dubai lifestyle, an ad to say 'You can leave Dubai and travel everywhere for fashion shows" (or insert other hobby here) isn't really the way to do it.

I haven't flown with the lady in question and wouldn't comment on her job/ability/whatever, but you can't deny she fits what they like in recruitment ads (just look at most of the CC who do the promo stuff) I just can't help feeling like this ad could have been a chance to be so much more and.... wasn't.

Who knows maybe there'll be more and showing more aspects of the real pilot life, or the things that got us into aviation in the first place. (Usually the planes ) Now an ad contrasting a giant A380 or a 777 with a pilot taking a spin in an old classic in Cali or San Fran would make for a cool ad too....

(Yes I know, we're more often sleeping than going out downroute but still )
