Hi passengers! My next few posts are going to be taken from a blog I done whilst living in Dubai many moons ago. The UAE features quite heavily in crewlife due to it offering more opportunities than back home on the job front. It can be a great stepping stone for a pilot career and a new way of life for hosties too. However, it does have a dark side, the fake glamorous lifestyle causing people not only to live beyond their means, but develop a bitchy, arrogant streak. Here's a quick rundown of the airlines of the area:
Emirates- the main one. The one everyone's heard of. They swan around Dubai as if they own the place. Increasing number of Filipinas in the airline, after the pilots' bulging pay packets.
FlyDubai- the Easyjet of the UAE. British staff from crap airlines like Excel with a polyester uniform to match, plus lots of Indians. Flies to exotic destinations like Turkmenistan and Bangladesh.
Etihad- Abu Dhabi's airline, the UAE flag carrier. Crew are classier than Emirates and better behaved. Large amount of Northerners work here plus a few Eastern Europeans with a past history of Ryanair.
Air Arabia- The Jet2 of the region. Cabin crew from war torn countries. PILFs swarthy and hot.
Private companies- Amsterdam in the sky if you get my drift.
