As stated by tolerant dubai, and as previously stated,
anyone wanting to move to dubai for the long term and hasn't applied to EK should do before FZ. (job requirements noted)
Short of flight crew more a/c being delivered = more work, not a bad thing for cash. Not being able to escape Dubai once a month, explore the region over a few days off and generally having a life is the down side.
Something has to give and the resignation of another 2 Capt's just confirms the general consensus.

Do you mean contraventions of the Ops Manual / Part A / Flight Time Limitations / 7.2 / 'GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE SCHEME' (see also: CAR-OPS 1.1105):
To make up the short fall, maybe the Rostering & Commercial Dept's would care to contribute towards paying some folks bills !?
Some people in (mis)Management suggested that for good rosters to occur we need to have a 'critical Mass'. I now realise that they were actually referring to some sort of extreme religious intervention !
- Rosters with numerous inclusions of fatiguing rest periods ? (OMA 7.2.a)
- Rosters published less than 1 week before commencement, and with changes (seemingly) to various duty notice periods ? (OMA 7.2.b)
- Rosters with numerous single days-off and with ever earlier starts following a day off and / or ever later finishes prior to a day off ? (OMA 7.2.c)

Hey you are very right 
Got some info from a reliable
upstairs that told me that AIMS is deliberately manupulated . They have also rigged AIMS to make it really hard to swap now. They call them officially ongoing system errors but I have it from upstairs that this is done to avoid people swapping around too much and to have more control over us.
Talk about no life Roster
or the usual "BUT ITS LEGAL" slogan
Hey has anyone been called out on Standby recently and then got a call back some time later asking you to stay at home and put back on standby again? This can surely not be legal either. This has been happening to me 3 times now and once I was called out and then told not to come in and put back on standby and 6 hours later they called me again and 20 minutes after that called and cancelled me and put me back on standby again for the third time
finally 1 hour before my standby finish they call me and send me on a long trip.

Hey Tolerant Dubai
The last rumor I hear of the chief Pilot is that it may go to a Irish Lepracon who is hell bent on doing some serious damage upstairs and to some folks on the line. As it is he hates all the guys from the land of the free and the Brazilians and is looking for some serious retribution
If management does'nt make a quick anouncement to clear things up about who the leader will be they just keep damaging their own reputation.

Truecruz,
Who ever the new Chief Pilot is, it has to be an improvement on the person in place now. As for the new one being Irish hell bent on retribution, well lets just wait and see. Personally, I think this might be a little over the top.
However, the new guy really does need to make some immediate changes, otherwise people will just vote with their feet...... pretty much as they are doing now.
For me, this is the worse rostering I have ever experienced. I know AIMS is capable of much, much better schedules, if it were free from malicious human interference. I have been exposed to AIMS for many years and have only ever seen this level of crap at Flydubai.
But guys, as long as you are all doing a 'great job’ and writing EFOS reports with a positive spin, you’ll be fine..... you may even get it printed!

Dubaigoing went where?
Where is Dubaigoing? Why is he not here defending useless indians in rostering and the upper management that let them carry on with the abuse? Where the hell did these AVBL come from? Impossible to swap, Funny how they show up before and after ROFFS to make it impossible to get some consecutive days off....
The last few months the Days off has gone from 13-15 to 7-8....... Clottered up with STBY and AVBL...... September is showing 5 AVBL on my schedule and 3 STBY............

Prison break!
With EK housing now up to 14k a month and basic to 25k, bonus, real medical and extra benefits, no need for the ridiculous staff travel forms to check whether we fly a single minute into that day and then wait for 2 weeks for an approval! It seems like a no brainer as I near the end of my prison term!

I have a feeling many will past GO and pay their money than put up with the on goings at FZ.
Something is seriously wrong up top, just taken far too long to announce a new CP. Either a puppet is preferred or no one with some balls has considered or been considered for the job. That being said changes to the rest of the system aint going to happen given that a new CP is high priority nd that has taken forever!!!
As the A scale Capt's slowly resign then pay issues won't be such a problem.
EK a far better package for anyone considering the Mid East, unless you find it hard to go back to the RHS.
cadets better be good ones, thats all I can say!

UN on Afghanistan
UN Security Council released a report on the situation in Afghanistan.
Read here:

The average monthly number of incidents for 2011 is up 39 per cent compared with the same period in 2010.
If memory serves correct last year (2010) was the most violent year in recent years already.........

Alaska,
along with a 2hr bus ride you also get a free set of steak knives!! (that would be a DOHA return prior to the ****agong day stop).
Its awesome, I can't wait to collect my per diem, it may pay for a pair of wellingtons to go for a walk. don't stay out too long as its a 0445 wake up call for an 0815 departure!!
Race you the door.

@Diz
Pretty well everyone drives to T2 Diz, public transport not really an option give FD report times. You can taxi, alot of the Cabin crew do, it's not that expensive, but does add up.
People live all over, singles and those with no kids can usually be found at JBR, Dubai Marina, or Palm. Those with kids at Silicon Oasis, Arabian Ranches, and the Palm. A 3 bed will cost from 115-150k dirhams depending where it is.
