That's strange. Because I 'd say a good portion of the Americans I fly with and hang out with have no plans to leave. But I live here and work with these people,,, what would I know.

By the way, I am not a Kool-Aid drinker, it HAS gone downhill at EK since I arrived and if I came to the Middle East now Etihad would be my first choice.

But that still doesn't mean everyones making a rush for the door.
