Chocoholic wrote: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.

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

Chocoholic wrote: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.

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