I have made lots of mistakes in my life but the best decision I made by far was leaving Emirates. As many pilots have said before I only wished I could have left earlier.
Everything about me feels so much better. I can't believe what a fog my head was in while slaving for EK. I was only there for three years so I can't imagine what one feels like after a decade.
My best recommendation for all pilots currently flying in Dubai is to get out as quick as you can. Do you really think it's going to get better there? For the Big Shinny Airplane wannabes stay away. You have no idea how bad it is there and what it will do to your health.
