Emirates houses the flight crew in the Millenium Towers downtown New Dubai. A brand new (the road isn't complete yet) 58 story apartment building. The cabin attendants are 3 to an apartment on floors 1 - 35. The pilots get a 2 bedroom palace to themselves on floors 36 - 58. The highest floors are reserved for married pilots. If you have a family you get a villa somewhere else. Needless to say Millenium Towers is worse than the University of Illinois during Pledge week. And these people have money, jobs, careers and responsibilities...can't you tell from the pic? Some of us never grow up!
Once the wives come to town things slow down -
a bit....JR met a really great bunch of guys. Tareq is the crown jewel with Ben, James, Julio, Jon, Alan, Grant and Dave. They are from Peru, S. Africa, UK and US. Some are married with kids some are just starting out. All are looking for the highest seniority spot in a growing airline. Emirates has it all - including hot flight attendants (which I'm learning is priority number one).
