Liveatc.net is the second highest priority bookmark on my browser. Additionally, it has a feed for Dubai International and the most beautiful thing is listening to it while watching the aircrafts landing. It's like being in the cabin real-time <3
I'm into aviation and becoming a pilot is one of my potential career options.

How much do you mean by that. You know there are different kinds of people out there. Some that are just "interested", some that like it, and the others who are really deeply into it, the true ones. Which one are you?

I will be beginning aeronautical engineering this year, Inshallah will join emirates after I finish it. Love to be pilot, but its too expensive to train in emirates aviation university but I think its worth it, maybe I will after getting a job.

Deeply into it. Keep up with aviation news (commercial), do a lot of plane spotting (I live near Heathrow) and I've been to quite a few exhibitions. Don't really have much time anymore, but I also used to do flight simulator etc. videos on YouTube haha.

Oooh same as me..!! Beginning Sept 2016 insha Allah. And then I'll get a chance to hang out with them pretty aircrafts <3 Yeah apparently it is. But I heard Fujairah is slightly cheaper. Never investigated though. Yes you will get it all back, bas it will take years to do it. And you can't just get into Emirates after training. You need to have atleast 2500 flying hours to do that :frown:

The belief is that planespotters could harm the security of the country. But I never quite understood that phrase :s-smilie:
How can such a peaceful group of planespotters possibly harm the aircrafts???!!?!?

Can't say much for Emirates, but QA is brutal in terms of how staff are treated. Supposedly it's impressive to make it past the 1st/2nd year. Also apparently they aren't treated well. Looks flowery on the outside, but in reality working as an air hostess for QA is very hard
