It is common knowledge amonst Crew and flight deck that some girls solicit themselves (and get paid a great deal) to subsidise their wages.
Most of this is done directly below the towers where they all live.

Again...... this is such a well known fact, why doesnt anyone do something about it????
I am starting to resent them for this sort of behaviour now. These cabin crew that solicit themselves are no better than the gunk u scrape off the bottom of yer shoes after a walk in a muddy field!

atleast the service will improve and peoples perception of Emirates Airline and Dubai will improve.

Why do they need to make major customer service changes when the customer is not voting with their wallet.

u have only been in Dubai 10 minutes. lolwell hows this then..... they are losing repeat customers and these are the people that will slag off the airline to other people and put them off it before they have even tried it......
empty and very cramped seats, plus arrogant cabin crew, coupled with poor first class ammenities, means they are heading toward the bottom of the heap, mate.
