Nah I haven't lost it. By playing a lost soul like Sky, I was just trying to solicit a little love and attention from the hot chiquitas on this forum who may be feeling a little sorry for me. It's one of my secret ways to woo the ladies......

TP, I don't work at Emirates but I'm going to take a stab at why that might be.

Is the flight attendant demographic at EK mostly 1) Less than straight males 2) 250lb burned out grandma's who would hog all the crewmeals if they could, or 3) Your standard 100%, high octane, grade, pure American bizatch who is saddled with emotional issues?

I'd venture to guess that they are a younger, more worldly, educated group of females that have more of an adventerous spirit than what they hire (or what is left in some cases) than in the US.

Yeah, I know not ALL US FA's are what I listed above. But this job would difinetly be different if US airlines had the same hiring practices that alot of overseas carriers did.
