All you Virgins may want to read the Middle East Forum about life in Dubai.
I am in the Fragrant harbour and frequently visit Dubai on overnights and I can tell you it's not the place I would want to move to. 50c temps, real bad traffic, smoke/dust haze and it's getting more and more expensive by the day. The locals don't want you there and let you know it. One of our Captains was verbally bashed by a local in the crew hotel, turns out he was some big wig who hates "white trash". He and his security thugs hassled the Captain for quite a while and the hotel security refused to help because of who the local was.
Nice place, makes you feel really welcome doesn't it.
Please take a close look before jumping the VB ship, I know it's not rosey in VB either but boy I know where my family would rather live. Money ain't everything.

ACMS,
Bloody classic mate, you don't live in Dubai but you are giving expert testimony about the place, and what gems they are.
Of course, one never raises a sweat in Hong Kong during summer, oh and those locals LOVE you GWAILOs. Confirm Hong kong belongs to communist China?.
What no traffic in Hongkong? HA. And YOU are giving advice about haze and dust, try the LUNG destroying pollution in Hongkong.
To all you virgins out there, I think ACMS was refering to staying away from the Fragrant harbour, and he was just a little confused when he wrote his post.

Yes they were over in Oz last may,i attended the Perth session they had.
They show you a promotional DVD and answer questions.
The requirements are still 2000 Hours jet >50,000kg.
It would seem that since they were over here less than 12 months ago they are not getting the right numbers applying or may need to lower the requirements for entry.

Mate. With your pearler outburst as #3 contributer to this thread, no wonder others are having a go at you.
I don't defend living in Dubai, however as someone who frequents this place as irregularly as you, l find your contributions as some what meaningless.
I have been verbally abused in Australia more times than l care to remember, and not all of it was provoked. Can the Captain you speak of say the same? And, with refernce to Oz, l am not even of "Middle Eastern Appearance"!
I won't go into HKG / DXB comparison as it's chalk and cheese, but please let others make an informed decision without an emotional outburst like yours.
50 degrees has never been recorded in Dubai, but places l have worked in Australia have had temperatures like that. GA flying is like that.
Smoke and dust haze are true, but nothing like l have seen in HKG!
Is there anywhere in the world that isn't getting more expensive by the day? HKG perhaps is shrugging off developed/third world world trends?
This place is third world and there is no denying it, however there are good opportunities here for the right minded individual, even if they are not virgins.
Make an ill-informed decision and you will regret it.

Been in the desert almost 10 years; almost 5000 PiC heavies. Seriously considering a Beech 1900 or Saab or Dash 8 job to live in a civilised country and come home. Up to you pal...
The requirements are still 2000 Hours jet >50,000kg.
No wonder they need regular visits to Australia to find crew. I am guessing there would only be a handful of those who want to move. Then again I suppose that is all they want?

Do Emirates discriminate on religious grounds or sex?
Was wondering if my girlfriend,an Australian citizen but Israeli national and former medical officer in the Israeli Military would be allowed to live in Dubai?
Also if Jewish by religion or female, would that preclude pilots from applying or being processed?
So far neither has been answered.

Since when is it wrong to voice an opinion in here???????
And it's not just my opinion either, go ask the roughly 70 EK Pilot's that quit last year why they left.
A very close mate is on the 777, has been for years and years. The information I get is first hand from him on one of my frequent trips to the pit. All I was trying to was get the VB guys and Girls to look at the "middle east" forum and get a balanced opinion on life in Dubai. So shoot me if I did the wrong thing pal.
Oh and the whole basis of this link is not only Emirates coming to town, it is quite obviously about Emirates recruiting and as such my post is totally relevent.
