jetkopite and puff m'call,

Sad, but not surprised, to hear of your discontent with the job due to the way Emirates have managed to suck the joy out of flying. I experienced the same with both Emirates and my previous employer, the worst low cost airline in Europe (and still an embarrassment to the industry).

If it's of any interest, there is light at the end of the tunnel - I left Emirates, currently fly for a company I respect, have a great work/life balance and actually enjoy going to work. It took me 2 company changes and 9 years to actually enjoy the job of being a commercial pilot. I realise that it's a bit of a leap to leave the cloistered and elevated prison that is flying in Dubai but, believe me, there's nothing like being in charge of your own destiny and in control of the lives of you and your family -priceless!

Best of luck to both of you in your future endeavours.
