ghilis101…

You seem to imply a "Disney-esq" life and work environment here at EK and Dubai. It is anything but!! Spend more than a vacation here in Dubai… and spend a few months on our flying roster and you'll soon see what it's really like here.

There is a constant hammer hanging over all of our heads here… if you make a mistake, if you raise your head above the proverbial radar, the hammer can come down on your head pretty hard and you can find yourself in some pretty deep sh*te here. This company has a "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality.

I know a number of US colleagues who are resigning to go back to get in on the hiring spree in their country. There will always be many who like it here, can adapt and accept the ways of EK and Dubai and who otherwise have very little if any options to go back to their home country to fly. Good for them!

But your perception of life at EK and Dubai…. ???
