I left the UAE not too long after this airline launched. Does anyone know how it is doing? And if you are seeing Emirates and Etihad react with cuts to their ticket prices? Thanks. Mark

Calm Down Don;’t panic. What the hell!
I have submitted my application since January and i have not received my papers up to now.
When i went to follow it up, they said they have no records of me despite showing them the receipt.
Crap, crap crap, piece of crap.
Before coming up with the deadline they should first come up with a better system.

Hi members & To some related departments..

As you, the analysist says 10000 DHS min to take our family to dubai is fine, as we know the cost of living, rents, school fees and health care are very high..

Same time why cant the government fix minimum salary that have to be provided by private sectors…

now a days due to economic crices all the company have reduced the salary… but still rent,other expences remains the same….

why cant housing department fix maximum rent depends on location…

if government takes step in all sections , every thing will be ok…
