Know anyone who's been a flight attendant or something like that? I started messing around the Emirate Airline website because I saw something on the travel channel about the ceilings in their first class cabins reflecting the skies of the destinations. Neither here nor there... Have toyed with the idea of working on flights, I looooove flying and seems like an interesting short term job. They seem to have a really good package, put you up in Dubai, $$, etc. Anyway just rambling here I guess. http://www.emiratesgroupcareers.com/
