Hi,

I have read all of the above posts, obviously there are many pros and cons for moving out to the UAE and to EK.

Could someone who lives in Dubai and works for EK (as a European expat) please give me some true thoughts --- do you enjoy it/ was it the right move/ what is Dubai like to LIVE in? A note to consider -- may have an offer from EK, this is my first real job so not too much to compare with in the UK.

Tough decision,

Cheers

Why would it be a tough decision to work for E.K. if this is your first 'real' job? Your kidding us.... right?:confused:

No, not kidding, I'm just wondering about how easy it is to get back into the European airline business once I have been out in DXB for a while. I have a job offer with a good company in the UK, that's all and have to decide and I just don't know how comfortable I would be out in the UAE.

Cheers

P.S. 'Real' job as in I have been at uni / training up til now...

Crazee,

If you have been at Uni and then training, how will you get a job wiith EK? Unless you did 4000 hours of training....ah ha!

...because it's not for a pilot job, that's how :cool:

EK Rejection Q??
 

If you get the sad letter from EK that you have been rejected, can you be reconsidered???

Sorry matey......we all assumed that with the name of crazypilot and being on a 'pilots' forum,that you were a.........well, pilot i guess!

Yes, sorry about the misunderstanding....crazypilot refers to my private flying ... PPL only unfortunately!

How is wing commander stealey settling in,and on the subject of things relative,surely it depends on where you come from.If you were exiled from australia l can understand being bitter and twisted,but if you spend your life living in a dump of a british town
endless traffic jams,yobs everywhere dumping their litter,and spending friday nights dodging pavement pizzas and flying bottles,it cant be that bad!

come on now......Crawley's not THAT bad..............there again!

Better "steel "yourself for constant SOP changes and Flying Manual amendments then. Didn't you know you Emirates chaps have been operating aircraft incorrectly all these years? Prepare to be patronised and told how flight ops mishaps are the result of too many people commuting.(Even though the relevant people live around the corner) Mind you he was better than the replacement patroniser we have in place now....Can we have AS back?

Constant SOP changes & amendments ? Being patronised ? Fits the management profile perfectly...must have breezed the interview.

Nothing new then, should fit in really well...can't wait.

As if morale wasn't low enough... any lower we'd probably strike oil.
