agree with the first part but still we have large number of unemplyed locals, and the number is increasing.

now can u tell me what kind of jobs locals cant do?

How do you judge if some pilots are "way better" than others ?

I understand all pilots have to be perfect in their jobs regardless of nationality, so how does one turn out better than the other?

erm you'd never get locals to work in construction, actually building the city. Sweeping streets, cab drivers, waiters etc etc, basically low level jobs. You can't compare an airline pilot to a cab driver, or office boy.

That was a below the belt comment. I could tell you horror stories about 'some' pilots. Who would do nothing in an emergency as they have an 'inshallah' attitude. All pilots have the same training, human error no matter what nationality you are is always a risk factor.

And sweets sadly you'll never increase in umbers while you're busy killing yourselves on the roads.

Who knows? Nobody could have imagined local working as a cashier in the supermarket 5 years ago. It's a reality now...

They're mostly women, the women work hard, wish to learn and do a good job. The men on the other hand are a whole other story.

Surprisingly I see mostly local men as cashiers in Carefour although I agree that such kind of a horse-mill is more suitable for women.

Probably it's due to literacy rate for local men is much higher than for women here.

This will be the stupidest rule enacted by a government that has come up with some not so bright rules in the past. Either Emiratis need to prove that they can do any job (street cleaners, office boys etc. etc,) or they need to live with the status quo

companies hire workers (skilled/unskilled) train them and they become an asset until their contracts expires, companies reabsorb them or renew their contracts/visa for they are already a working asset for company and roi is being brought by them. Then walah! when this residency caps comes out, these so called workers(skilled/unskilled) become's an asset to a company, then government throws them out of the country, company loses asset and roi, hire another then after sometime throws them again. then company got tired of hiring and training workers (skilled/unskilled),Then companies hire people here and train them, people here ask to much of salary, people here sits all day long beeping celphones, companies lost assest and roi, companies closes branches or offices in dubai, expats leaves because there is no stability or job security in dubai, then dubai losses at the end...THEN Johan Hari, Saul and Gerhan Hankins predictions will be sitting on their balcony in london, laughing and saying yep our predictions are right...TADAH! :pottytrain2:


when you get rid of the idea that local ppl can't work , then we can listen to u.. :lol:


who ever told you you cant work? Its simply what im telling is you cant or you dont want to take jobs with a very low salary and that the positions your after are those positions on top of the management. :blob6:

The emirati passport seems to have the same format as the Pk, India passports
This is the third passport which looks like it was printed using US tech.

US does a good job of improving security by making sure all people on these airports are tracked.

Notice the cameras.

I would venture to guess that there are cameras for all people coming and going out of India also.
