I too have heard the same by numerous Capt's and F/O's. Not sure what the plan is, but something has to be done otherwise things are going to get worse.

Well, it's been said for many a year, if you want something to happen just start the rumour, wait a while, keep throwing fuel on the rumour and eventually.....

Yes it is my first post, I will not use my other login name, not silly!

Again, yesterday, I flew with a cpt, 15 years in the company, telling me this "rumour" is getting stronger and stronger...

He told me being quite surprise this time as people says all the same words, not too much differences or some extravagancy

But at the same time, he seems not being surprise if such a "union" is setting up, due to the present conditions...

So If anyone has any more infos?

Who knows..!

The Palm has residents associations trying to block Nakheel's charging over beach access.

http://www.arabianbusiness.com/nakhe...ml?tab=Article

Nakheel plans to charge residents AED5,000 a year to access Shoreline’s facilities, and to open up membership to non-tenants at a cost of AED12,000. The move has enraged tenants on the palm-shaped island who argue that they bought their properties on the premise they would have access to the pools, gyms and private beach, and have lobbied Dubai’s real estate watchdog, RERA, to rule on who owns the rights to the facilities.

Interim housing associations on the luxury development have asked residents not to comply with Nakheel’s request for paperwork, ahead of a decision from RERA on the legality of the scheme.

In a circular to tenants, the homeowners association said: [Nakheel does] not have the right to announce this or put this in place. The contractual terms of the shoreline purchase agreements allows the exclusive use of the beach facilities for all residents.”
